Cryptic crosswords mix container + deletion clues (e.g., “A in B minus last letter = C”)—what’s the trickiest hybrid you decoded (nested words + letter cuts), and how did you unpack both steps? Did you ever delete first to simplify the container, and what’s the most structured wordplay moment you had?
