For Blaugust this year I decided to publish a series of cryptic crossword posts.
I'm aiming for one a day. Unfortunately for some of the time I will be camping, so I hope to manage this, but it might get a bit tricky if I have no internet access.
Many of our friends over the years have said that cryptic crosswords don't make sense. They certainly do play with your mind, and that is why I take delight in them. I love the surprising discovery inside a puzzle and the challenge of twisting the usual thought patterns and making them do something different.
So here is todayes offering...
Just a short simple one for you today.
Two words making one.
With these you might see an indicator that shows there are two bits making it up.
Unable to write repeat following sickness (10)
The straight clue is "unable to write"
In this case the word "following" shows that the word meaning repeat (iterate) follows the word meaning sickness (ill)
So the answer is "illiterate"
