Hello, if you have not done the Guardian Cryptic Crossword puzzle from Tuesday morning,

then here is a spoiler alert, because I'm going to give you the answer to 16 down,

which was newscast, believe it or not, and we were alerted to this by a few people, including Sarah from

Richmond. And the clue was, as Sarah recounts it, players supporting game opponents in media show.

I've got no idea how that gets you to newscast, but here is Sarah's working. She says, in a cryptic clue,

the answer is in the first or last part of the clue. And I felt it was media show I might be looking

for. Players could be a side, a team, or the cast in a stage play. Game could be in bridge, for example, north, south,

opposite east and west, which is a way of categorizing bridge players, which would give you

the letters NWES, which could be rearranged into news. Oh, I see where this is going. So the players, or

cast, are supporting, which means following in cryptic crossword language, the news. And then

Sarah says, finishing, to my delight, it was newscast. Ah, I can kind of get it now.

Thank you very much, Sarah.

Thank you to everyone else who pointed it out as well.

And thank you to everyone for confirming,

I'm just never ever going to be able to do cryptic crosswords.

The logic involved in that was amazing,

but I just not something I could do.

I think I'll just stick to the making great podcasts that inspire great cryptic crossword puzzle

setters, like this one.

Newscast.
