WIGAN PEERS CRYPTIC CROSSWORD CLUES 2-10-19
1) Ellington? Not his first instrument! (3)
An easy one to start us off
Remove the first letter from the title usually accorded to this famous musician, to get the abbreviation of a small instrument.
2) Get back in touch with antique car that’s broken down (10) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
An anagram (broken down) of ANTIQUE CAR
3) Wise men consider crossing street seeing one on bench (10) M _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E
The wise men from the Christmas story, the abbreviation for street and then consider, judge or mark.
Bench in this case is The Law.
4) Month of gold rush (6) A _ _ _ _ _
The 2 letter chemical element letters for GOLD, followed by a rush of wind perhaps.
5) A hat for the country? (6) P _ _ _ _ _
A double definition, a hat AND a country.
6) Song from star I applauded (4) _ _ _ _
In consecutive letters within the clue.
7) Derailed and disconnected? (3-4) O _ _ - L _ _ _
A double definition, what might happen to a derailed train, what a computer may be
8 ) Ear complaint can fool American (8 ) T_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Can in this case is of beans or soup perhaps, followed by a fool or twit, then an abbreviation for United States
9) Twin air intakes under a bridge (8 ) N _ _ _ _ _ _ S
Twin air intakes are a facial feature, can you suss it?
10) Dishevelled I wondered what comes over me at night (9) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A final anagram (dishevelled) of I WONDERED
Don’t get hoodwinked by this hugely horrendous hogwash.
