Would it be possible for a few easy ones so usnon-cryptic people can get the hang of it?
B-W, I pondered Annun's clue for ages and got no further than the "-grim" bit, so being familiar with these types of clues doesn't always help with the really tricksy ones.

The trick is to work out which is the straight clue and which are the cryptic clues. Then you can test various answers for the straight clue and see how they work with the cryptic ones.

Turambar - Is the answer Mahal?

Actors can be "Hams" and "Ham" backwards gives "Mah". I've no idea how to get "-al" from earth tones, but Mahal, aka Aule, was a pretty crafty chap. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
