Drink a small portion after a sort of rest.

You may take another turn.

If you have the correct answer but cannot come up with another puzzler on your own, then why bother this thread?
And who do you think you are, to tell someone else what they can or cannot do?

Please solve it then, and pose another -- or get lost.

At least I'm not a hypocrite.

@Suzianne saidApparently the challenging poser did not SITWELL with you, but I don't imagine that's the answer Paul had in mind.

(p.s. -- please don't hate me just because I might seem more advanced -- but also, please respect the game and get out of here if this is not the game for you -- and dare I say, please try to be more considerate)

@Paul-Martin saidI think this is still the current poser (in the context of this thread).
_ I _ _ E _ _

@Drewnogal saidIt's okay, Drew, go ahead. (Thanks for responding.)
It’s fine to answer without coming up with a new word. We’re not too picky on who goes next as we get impatient, being in different time zones 🙂 I’ll hold back on my answer for now.
I'm not much of a forum game player and I've stayed out of this forum for this long.
Plus, it's clear I'm not welcome here.
I will just go rather than cause a problem.
@Martin saidThis is how crossword clues work - cryptic ones.
I cannot fathom out most of the last few posts in this thread
Is some clicky group for a few select members or for a few paid people to get clicks to get revenue for the site?
The clue as given should usually contain a definition and some wordplay.
Previous clue was
Doctor treating the sick a bit.
the answer was Drill.
Doctor = DR ... the sick = ILL
DR+ILL = bit (as in a drill bit)
@Paul Martin offered up the current clue -
_ I _ _ E _ _
Drink a small portion after a sort of rest.
I've offered up my own clues for the same solution -
Mixer of Argonauts blended in.
Broken rib? Test for a tonic.
You need to read the clue and break down the wordplay - hopefully matching that with a definition somewhere (usually at the beginning or end of the clue).
I know people don't read newspapers anymore, but most papers usually have a crossword that's cryptic - good place to practice.
