Circulated ?
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP
That is a pretty good guess. Does "around" mean "sounds like" ? I thought it was a clue that the text is within the word, like Cir-something-cle.

To be honest, I'm surprised you got this because it was a one minute clue and I've just spotted a mistake in it.

Sounds like you are unpunctual = u late

This part was clear. I understood so far the word "around" as : the word along with it would be cut in syllables which would be put "around" the rest of the clue. So in this case "ring around" = "Circle around" = "Cir - rest of the clue - cle". In this case however, "around" means "sounds like". Which I did not expect. Not only does explaining it break the charm, but it seems that I cannot even bring it to my point. :^) Silly me :) !

See here where I confirm I screwed up[^]. This is what happens when you try to come up with a clue in a minute.

Ah okay ! Sorry for the question, I am still trying to understand the subtleness of CCCs, so sometimes need an explanation. I managed to solve only one since DD started with them, so I still hope to up the count.

Ring around, sounds like you are unpunctual, forwarded. (10) So, when I was starting this out, the thought process was: Circled was the ring, and it would go around the rest of the answer. That means that Circled should surround the other part of the answer. However, my mistake was dropping the l and e here. So, with the rest of the answer, Circled would have gone around ulate. That pesky l/e was my blindspot here, if I had left it in, that would be Circlulateed.
