Cryptic crosswords mix homophone + container clues (e.g., “sound of A in B = C”)—what’s the trickiest hybrid you decoded (similar sounds + nested words), and how did you balance sound and container logic? Did you ever say the homophone out loud to find the inner word, and what’s the most multi-step wordplay moment you had?
