    It's tougher than expected, making up these clues. Anyway, here's my offering : For a blanket covering, can one erupt violently?(11)

    It is harder than you think, isn't it? :laugh: COUNTERPANE - anagram of CAN ONE ERUPT

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

          Good clue. Easy, but good! (honest, I got it without reading Griff's post.) (really!) (Why don't you believe me?)

              And anagrams get figured out in no time anyway. :laugh:

              Your time will come, if you let it be right.

                Oh, I dunno - I like 'em when they're reasonably easy - and counterpane isn't an everyday word, but isn't to obscure either. It was one of those, though, that as soon as I looked at i thought 'anagram ' then I counted the letters - right number, then it's just a matter of looking really hard!

                  I'd rather hoped that people would count the letters in "for a blanket" as well. Ah well.

                    It's not easy - it just looks like it should be, and then you either end up with one that's far, far too easy or far, far too hard :laugh: I think I prefer this version of the CCC to DD's - because you get a variety of setters and you can't "get used" to the way one person thinks. And now it's my problem: I have to work out a clue that isn't too simple (like my "BACON" one was - I thought it was a good 'un!) or so difficult that I have to do it again on Monday... :~

                      That's exactly what I did. And once you know it's an anagram, it's pretty obvious.

                        ... and most of the answers are now words most people have heard before, rather than words I had to google just to see if they actually existed!
