I've put enough in - actually I'm the only one that's put in, despite you cocking up the clues.

10. "Grees" then, otherwise I close.

10. is so easy...

I had a difficult time with the first page. A few times I thought a caught a glimpse of what I'm supposed to do with these puzzles. There's a definition part, and a tricky part.

Not heavy, so partly delighted
At first pass, I think light, but something is removed? The answer is light, so the cryptic part is redundent.

A confused pat is most appropriate
Apt, I guess (most appropriate), but mix up (confuse) the letters? The answer is pat. Ha! I read it as part and that's a well known linguistic(?) effect.

Vehicle driven by Ivan, eventually
Which is the definition part? A russian car, I guess. The tricky part is it sounds like sooner or later, or something. Too many unknowns here, I guess I'll look at the answer.

The answer is VAN. The definition, of course, is ‘vehicle’, and the cryptic way is ‘Ivan eventually’. Take the ‘eventual’ letters from Ivan.. i.e the letters at the end .. VAN! See, in this case,because of the additional cryptic way, there is no confusion as to what the answer is. It is most definitely VAN and not CAR, BUS etc.

Oh man, I took some missteps. And these were easy examples. I guess you have to be smart to work cryptics.

In that case I'd think he's driving an IVA. I know where a word starts and where it ends That could be a russian make of vehicle, you know, without further research.

I kinda thinking bugger cryptics.

Cool site, thx. But that easy cryptic puzzle - no way I'm using the timer!

I print it off and complete at leisure.
I get most of it done in 15 mins but the last 3 or 4 may take 24 hours!!

I see that Wolfie is now sending his "cryptics" out via PM so as to avoid my scathing critiques.

Chicken poo and still waiting for the #10 answer, knowing already that the clue was poorly constructed.
