My little gray cells need a bit of help:
15 a Best to choose one mother (minimum?)
10d Tennis site reconstruction takes guts!
50a get back, young sheep (tug?)
Is there a formula or way of approaching the cryptic clues?
Thank-you a gazillion times!
Hi Annemarie Renaud
15a = OPTIMUM
10d = INTESTINES
50a = TEG
Go to Lovatts crossword site (http://www.lovatts.com.au) and you can read all about how to tackle the cyptics. Good luck.
Hi Dutchy
Many thanks for the help and for directing me to the advise on tackling cryptic clues. I find them daunting, but I reckon it is a matter of getting over that fear of failing to understand and regarding cryptics as an exciting challenge.
