    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

    Thirty years ago I would probably have got it, but these days my brain is so full of rubbish ...

      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)
