Cryptic crosswords mix homophone + reversal clues (e.g., “backward sound of A = B”)—what’s the trickiest hybrid you decoded (similar-sounding words + flipped order), and how did you balance sound and reversal? Did you ever say the reversed word out loud to check the homophone, and what’s the most sound-focused wordplay moment you had?
