        Well, It's an anagram clue. The three operators are "under", "regressively" and "stirring" with the definition on the left side. The right side is a supporting definition. I guess if I strictly followed the Ximenean principles the clues would be easier. Even if someone solves it I'm hoping I don't have to do this next week. :)

          Yeah I'm stuck... just far too much going on. It just leaves an overwhelming number of possible paths, and I don't have time to see where each path leads (if anywhere).

            Hmmm, Can you answer something for me? Do you guys actually do any CCC outside of codeproject? Have a look at some of the CCC from the Guardian archived today - April 5th, 2019. Behold peril initially in hurdles to negotiate — we’re in trouble! (4,4,2) With order originally maintained, author losing head as one joining the fray? (6) Leaving home, freeloading daughter made ungracious remarks, all concluding (6) Here is one from the Independent: Say I will have some work to pick up, offering nothing very colourful (6) Best Wishes, -David Delaune

              Nope, well not me anyway. CP is my only source of practice, that's why I am not very good at them! :laugh: I would assume some of the others do, but I couldn't say for sure.

                I regularly do The Telegraph, The Independent and sometimes The FT and always complete them - but your style defeats me :-D I've been doing cryptics for 50 or so years so well done :-D

                            Yeah, I guess the "all concluding" operator is one of those 'solve in 5 seconds' type clues. Others are about a minute each if that. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
