32 cryptic crosswords - Double meanings


For Blaugust this year I decided to publish a series of cryptic crossword posts.
I've achieved the goal, so here is one last hint for the moment before I take a break from the daily posting.

I hope that you have enjoyed the series.  Maybe I will add to it as I find other examples to share.

You wont find an indicator here for a straight double meaning.  You might be looking for tricky clues, and you shouldn't be.  It might be just as simple as two words that have the same answer.

The best hint that I have of this is when the clue is very short. So watch out for that tell tale.

Here is a longer example for you.

Congratulations on order for a steak (4,4) =well done

Well, that's me all done for the moment.
I will see you again sometime when there is something a bit bloggable to share.  In the meantime I encourage you to grab that cryptic crossword and have a go... and if you can have a go in a couple or a group do that too.  It is great to share your random thoughts and inspire each other.

That is what we will be doing on Saturday morning, when we finish our bacon and eggs and make a cuppa.  The Advertiser will come out, and the important thing to do is complete the cryptic crossword.  Then the rest can be consumed if we have time.

Happy Puzzling.
