gldenwetgoose 20,278 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I think you may have led me there to the first ever cryptic clue I've solved. Well, saying 'I've solved' is rather a strong way of putting it. Not going to spoil the pleasure for anyone else. 1 Quote Link to post

I have always wanted to be like Inspector Morse. Whilst I have the penchant for real ale, opera, classical music and an unerring ability to be rubbish at pulling ladies, I will never own a classic car nor ever get a crossword clue right.... 1 Quote Link to post
Kupar 12,497 Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 It's a 'hidden word' type of clue. Does that help? Quote Link to post

harry_jones_1975 575 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Only 5 letter answer related here I can think of is Urine. Only anagram I can see is Angel or Angle or Glean and can't link them to pee. 1 Quote Link to post

When I first saw it I assumed that "Not all of it" was the synonym and was thinking along the line of "parts", with a P and "arts" somehow. But actually "Not all of it" is the clue of how to get the answer from the rest. 1 Quote Link to post
