Cryptic crosswords use homophone clues (e.g., “hear” = “here”)—what’s the trickiest homophone you interpreted (similar-sounding words, or misleading “sound” indicators), and how did you match the clue to the correct spelling? Did you ever say the clue out loud to spot the homophone, and what’s the most fun sound-based solve moment you had?
