Can anyone help with the following Cryptic clues:-
Each change after crisis is a nuisance = ?e?????e
Reach over with four records = a???i?n
Higher rate on more than one occasion = t??? a?e ? h??? (4,3,1,4)
Attention-grabber at the dance = e???s? ?? (6,2)
Using fingers is a stimulant = ??g?t???s
Short as a crustacean = ??a?b?
Thank-you
Using fingers is a stimulant = ??g?t???s - digitalis
Attention-grabber at the dance = e???s? ?? Elvis? (6,2)
Short as a crustacean - crabby (short-tempered...)
First one is HEADACHE (crisis = come to a head + anagram of EACH) = nuisance
Second one is ARCHIVE (anagram of REACH + Roman four - IV - inside) = records. Since you show an 'n' at the end of this word there is something wrong with the crossword - does this error impinge on any of the other clues above?
