Not really. I was gonna look around the site for clues but I procrastinated. They’re clever enough that they don’t immediately stick out to me.

[Gamma Emerald]

Cryptic crossword clues tend to stump me

[furtiveglance]

Fair, they're definitely easier to think of than to answer. I could always post the answers tonight/in a couple days

I cannot figure out furtiveglance’s (I don’t mind you waiting a couple days to spoil, just don’t take too long or I’ll explodededed) Let me know if you want spoilers on mine.

[Gamma Emerald]

I'll try my hand at a few cryptic clues...
1. Concordat is invoked by MS user (6)
2. I, Earl Confused, seek princess (5)
3. English song tends to charm (7)

Is 3

Spoiler:

Enchant?

[C-Worl]

Oh…… That’s a good guess

[Gamma Emerald]

Ftr my research has found cryptic crossword clues tend to have a bifurcated approach: there’s something for one half, something for the other half, and something for the whole

Enchant?

Spoiler:

Yes This is an example of a combination clue - English is En, Song is Chant (and Charm is Enchant). I was trying to use 'tends to' as the indicator of a combination clue - usually it's something like 'leads to' or 'makes'

This is one type of clue, my other clues do not necessarily follow this format.

[C-Worl]

I feel real dumb considering I made a clue for the same user and even used a similar clue (charm) and still didn’t get it
