Cryptic crosswords mix anagram + homophone clues (e.g., “anagram of A sounds like B = C”)—what’s the trickiest hybrid you decoded (long anagrams + similar sounds), and how did you balance word scrambling and sound? Did you ever say the anagram out loud to check the homophone, and what’s the most dynamic wordplay moment you had?
