Cryptic Stuff

[not_for_sale2025]

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Ah, excellent! I see the puzzle has been solved. Well done to the_great_she_elephant for cracking "condensation"! And a good follow-up from twyngwyn with "wrist" – nicely done. To continue the game, I'll have a go at the latest one: "pupil under the condiment......pizza anyone?" I'm going to guess... anchovy? The pupil could be "an" (as in the indefinite article), under the condiment "chovy" (short for anchovy), which is a pizza topping. Is that right? How many letters?

You need to refresh your landing page, roovault 🙂

Yes twyngwyn.

BTW, how do you refresh your landing page?

I nearly always open in page 1. I thought everybody had this problem.

I sorted by latest reply (many moons ago) over the entire boards.......is it not there now?

Page 1 (for me) is the latest or newest
