Is the CCC too difficult

Thanks for additional clue! I think the answer is 'respite' (highlight text with mouse to read the suggested answer). I admit that I used a list which sorts words by word length to help, but that would not have helped without the first two letters
I'd say you have it. Jump in!

Is the CCC too difficult - not even a wild guess makes me think no one is reading it.

NO, but I only just got round to seeing it (hearing aids for the first time today, and they are driving me round the bend...)

I didn't find it too difficult. It took me about 10 minutes to solve it. But, I didn't start till about 40 minutes ago. It was solved, and usually is, a couple hours before I've even read it. Central Daylight Time is about 6 hours earlier than your time. If I'm awake at 3 am my time it's usually because the coyotes are howling outside my bedroom window. I'm not advocating for changing the "official" start time of the CCC. I am trying to solve them, it's just that I'm starting late so there's no reason to respond if I do solve it (unless I have a pithy comment). :-D

I've only just looked at it ( having read this post) and no, doesn't strike me as hard. Easier than many of yours, I'd say. (That's not to say I would necessarily have got it, but it's not a complex or dodgy clue)
