I just finished my first whole cryptic crossword puzzle (Games, Oct. 2004, Pg. 48)! Solved most of it on my bus commute (about an hour total), getting only one clue wrong, and that only by a single letter (wrong part of speech, pfui).

This is a satisfying testament to my understanding puzzlecraft a lot more over the last year, largely due to my association with the MIT Hunters. After this test, I feel I have leveled up as a solver. If this were first edition I could give myself a cool new title and score 1d6 henchmen but oh well.

can NPL membership be far behind?

Henchmen don't come for a few more levels. Where do you think I got a Mystery Hunt team?

Stuck on the clue in the title, though I know how it works and, I think, the first three letters.
