Cryptic crosswords mix deletion + charade clues (e.g., “remove last letter of A + B = C”)—what’s the trickiest hybrid you decoded (multi-letter deletions + long chars), and how did you handle both steps? Did you ever delete first to simplify the charade, and what’s the most structured wordplay moment you had?
