          Whoops, spelling error above. Well spotted AH.

                      Hang on, that's not the answer. I mean obviously you have the answer, but I don't think that's sticking to the rules.

                      Referee! Ruling please!

                        I think there are plenty of precedents for this rule tweak up-thread

                        But if not, try

                          I think conjugating the solution slightly differently as in Guy's "dismisseth" and your "poker" on this page is OK (more or less) but using an entirely different word is not.

                            I'm with ad hoc here-I don't like it at all. In fact I'd go further- I want a stringent ban on all variations from the actual word

                            I spent a long time wondering how "Face" was the solution to your clue "Prod Roger in gym class (4)"

                            since face was the only four letter word in the next clue "Poker face in Slovenia"

                              Fair enough. I accept AH and Nef's suggestions

                                I'm with AH/Nef here - "dog eat dog" could have been contrived into a clue for "Doge", but not the other way around, surely?

                                  Current clue, slightly edited is

                                  Doge: "Foil out of control Richard Briers vehicle!" (4,4)
