Untidy storage sheds or entryways (5)
Not original to me, but a really nice clue!

It was a good clue - and you are (obviously) correct!
You up for tomorrow?

Untidy storage sheds or entryways (5)
Not original to me, but a really nice clue!
@OriginalGriff It was a good clue. But, I failed to solve it myself. After an hour or so I peeked at the answer and saw I was way off in the weeds on this one - misdirection the key to a good clue. And, I completely missed the untidy/anagram link too.
BTW, I forgot to check back in yesterday, sorry if I left you in the lurch. Mea culpa. The old CP notified me on replies to my posts, I can't figure out how to get the new one to do that yet. I guess I need to get in the habit of checking in unprompted.

@FreedMalloc was my explanation helpful ?
@pkfox Indeed it was. I didn't think of "sheds or" to mean remove "or" from storage. I also missed the untidy=anagram link. I think I might have gotten it had I made either one of those connections. I'm a bit out of of practice. I need to remember to step back when I'm windmilling and try another tack - like rereading the clue. ;)

@FreedMalloc It's a lot harder setting them :-)
@pkfox Much. As some of my early attempts clearly showed. :D
