Sitter Crosswords
@sitterxwords.bsky.social
Cryptic clues posted most evenings, usually an anagram (cold-solve friendly) and often topical.
I once accidentally cooked the exact amount of rice needed for a meal for a rather hungry 58 year-old vegetarian. Still looking for a cure for my vegetarianism

I'm sure this must be exasperating for you, but I really thought I'd get stick for the bloody grind - the definition didn't cross my mind. I can (sort of) see what you're saying, but feel that most solvers would arrive at 'misleading' without a further thought. MOST solvers!!

I must be honest and admit that most of this stuff goes over my head. The definition 'behaving like Reeves' surely leads to MISLEADING? Present/past/pluperfect stuff notwithstanding, it sounds like a perfectly natural definition.

Not that I'm aware of?
The clues are there to be solved - spoil away! Some like to put oblique references to the answer in their replies, but each to their own.
Spoiler alert, though - your answer is (slightly) wrong!! 😆
