Here are ten anagram clues which have appeared in recent Times Quick Cryptic puzzles.
Have a go at solving them and submit your answers to badger@crosswords101.com for an honorary mention in next month’s newsletter.
First examine this example:
Suspect disease in coastal area (7)
suspect is the anagram indicator
disease is the wordplay
the answer means coastal area
Rearranging disease gives us seaside – which is a coastal area.
Good luck!
