I think I need to look at a solving-cryptics book or two to get up to speed.

Maybe check with potential markets first before setting any puzzles, to learn their submission requirements (and payouts) and whether they are even accepting submissions.

Over here in the USA, a few years ago I considered getting back into American-style puzzle construction for pocket money, but even then there was software that could generate most or all of the grid, so most of the human involvement at the time would have had to do with coming up with clever (American-style) clues, and I felt the competition was too fierce and perhaps desperate.

Maybe here I'll add that in general, as a somewhat literate American, I appreciate the linguistic cleverness and excellence of at least some of the people of GB and the Commonwealth.

I think the word is STERILE but I don’t understand the cryptic clues either.

Stir eel is an anagram of sterile.

Clean is the literal clue, synonym for STERILE

the French end = LE at the end of the word

with Saint = ST

anger = IRE
anger back = ERI

ST ERI LE

Apologies I think it was my go, but given this explanation I nominate you to take my go 🙂
