                              (This is one I'm not sure about. Hopefully it's relatively gettable so fellow cruciverbalists can then let me know if the clue is fair)

                              Certainly wasn't fair to begin with as I ballsed up the clue. OK, I hope, now

                                    So is the Wilhelm clue fair? I'm never sure when the wordplay and the definition are intertwined

                                    Comment


                                      Yes, I think it's fair. I'm sure I've seen plenty like it. In fact I think there's one in this Saturday's Graun, though I haven't solved it yet. My only (slight) quibble is that leader to me implies the first letter of the next, or previous, word only.

                                          I've seen it from time to time

                                          (and have used it myself on here, so I'm not going to call it)
