I've not got a clue as to how to set cryptic crossword clues so someone else can pose the next conundrum.

ah come on, I have a go and I can't even count. Yer basic pun is probably the simplest type of cryptic, something like: 

Dr Moreau can build own grade increasing board (10, honest I've counted)

would just about do it

[burbistan]

Dr Moreau can build own grade increasing board (10, honest I've counted)

Anthony Howard's organ's article has a leaning bearing on king. (3,8)

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Anthony Howard's organ's article has a leaning bearing on king. (3,8)

I've got an answer, but not the wordplay that supports it.

Any chance of a further clue to narrow it down?

[johnx2]

how much do you want? Wikkipedia gives the game away pretty quickly I've thought. The wordplay's pretty conventional. 'Article' and 'king' are std crossword, there's a synonym in there, and for bearing think kind of direction this guy's pointing...




blimey he's bigger than I was expecting. And I mean his big wing of course.

'bearing on Brenda/ Queen' ? ........
 

[johnx2]

'Anthony Howard's organ' is as in 'Lord Gnome's organ'; wordplay in the clue is in the same sequence as the answer.

[johnx2]

'bearing on Brenda/ Queen' ? ........

instead of 'king' I could have said Ron initially* or summat. But that would've been contrived.





*ie a shite way of cluing the letter 'R'. To be fair to me this was a quick phone post. I've not fucked up again have I?
