I am off work next week so unfortunately I cannot answer... which is convenient as I have no idea what it is

[pkfox]

Do you know the answer ? I was a bit concerned it wasn't a well constructed clue

Did you not read the small print? (I have no idea)

Yay - for a moment I thought it wouldn't be solved :-D

I thought crafty was the anagram indicator. How do you get arch from crafty and what was the anagram indicator if crafty was for arch?

[pkfox]

It's a double definition - Crafty indicates the anagram of dean and co and also means Arch - sneaky but I like it :-D

"Arch" has an adjective meaning of "mischievous, saucy, or 'marked by a deliberate and often forced playfulness, irony, or impudence'": Arch | Definition of Arch by Merriam-Webster[^] which is similar to "crafty" in the sense of "devious and clever". Anagram indicator? Gawd knows, I don't! :laugh:
