Starmer (or \u201cbroken armrest\u201d, if you will) was a veritable gift to cruciverbalists, providing flexible fodder for a wide range of clues during his time as Labour\u2019s leader. Just a day before he announced his attention to step down, he featured in a Gemelo clue:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Starmer worked with left wing, in conflict with members (12, 2 words)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll have to wait until July to find out who&#8217;ll be replacing Sir Keir, but we suspect that the exclamation \u201cUnhand my bra!\u201d may soon be emanating &#8211; cruciverbally, of course &#8211; from No. 10\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cc-block-spacing wp-block-paragraph\">UK politics aside, the Clinic continues to go from strength to strength &#8211; last month the homepage received well in excess of 5,000 visits. It\u2019s wonderful to see so much interaction across the site and from a real spread of visitors, from hardened solvers\u2019 comments on the regular Observer puzzles to questions from first-time setters on the <a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/ask-the-doctor\/\">Ask the Doctor<\/a> page. June saw visitors asking Dr Clue for advice on various aspects of clue-writing, including the placement of indicators, full vs partial homophones, and transitive vs intransitive verbs. Please keep your questions coming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Clinical Observations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four <em>Observer <\/em>puzzles to challenge our little grey cells this month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/07\/notes-for-azed-2780\/\">Azed 2,780<\/a>: Plain, 1.5\/5 difficulty. We started with old liquor at 1A and finished with sweet wine at 28D, having consumed mulled wine, Merlot and Scotch along the way! A questionable plural prompted discussion of the Chambers app\u2019s handling of uncountable nouns (for those still clear-headed enough to engage).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/14\/notes-for-gemelo-37\/\">Gemelo 37<\/a>: Plain, 3.6\/5. A more sober affair, with just one London Pride in 4D, but entertaining nonetheless, as Shakespeare and Austen rubbed shoulders with Eric Bana and a couple of Marvel villains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/21\/notes-for-gemelo-38\/\">Gemelo 38<\/a>: Plain, 2.7\/5. Around the world in 36 clues, with visits to Spain and Swaziland, Bannockburn and Belgium. Dr Clue considered whether \u201calmost\u201d is acceptable to indicate the first letter of a two-letter word &#8211; perhaps a question for a future poll\u2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/28\/notes-for-gemelo-39\/\">Gemelo 39<\/a>: Plain. Early votes suggest this was at the easier end of the spectrum. If you haven\u2019t cast your vote yet, let us know how difficult you found it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Clinic Refurbishment Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Clinical Data section of the site is very popular with setters and solvers alike, and we\u2019re keen to make our tables of indicators presented here as user-friendly as possible. With that in mind, the first swathe of our planned enhancements was implemented this month. And perhaps the most significant of these is the addition of filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, tables could be sorted by one of the column headings &#8211; for example, \u201cdrag and drop\u201d indicators could be sorted by their clue type (across, down, or either) <strong>or<\/strong> by their effect (first letter to end, last letter to start, and so on), but not by both simultaneously. Thanks to Dr Clue, you can now apply drop-down filters to find what you\u2019re looking for much more quickly and easily. Further details on the <a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/refurbishment-project-status\/\">Clinical Data table enhancements here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find these new filters helpful &#8211; or have other suggestions for enhancing the Clinical Data tables &#8211; we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Poll\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Poll of the Month<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cc-small-margin has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Results of May Poll<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question related to the enumeration of multi-word and hyphenated answers in barred puzzles. Although 56% of responders supported change, either to &#8216;(a, n words)&#8217;\/'(a, hyphen&#8217;) [36%] or &#8216;(a,b)&#8217;\/'(a-b)&#8217; [20%], a substantial minority voted for the preservation of the status quo. Despite the outcome being inconclusive, it&#8217;s something that we may take up with the editors of the major barred puzzles at some future point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cc-small-margin has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>June Poll<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not uncommon to see words in a clue given an initial capital letter which is not required in the cryptic reading, while occasionally a word which requires a capital in the cryptic reading is not given one. Some examples would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cc-tight-para wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A<\/strong>. A word which is not a noun in the cryptic reading is given a false capital letter, eg &#8220;Stick with it in Nice&#8221; for POLITE [POLE with IT in].<br><strong>B<\/strong>. A word which is a common noun in the cryptic reading is given a false capital letter such that it appears to be a proper noun, eg &#8220;Left in street, perplexed Sturgeon&#8221; for STERLET [L in STREET*].<br><strong>C<\/strong>. A word which requires a capital in the cryptic reading does not have one, eg &#8220;Scour inside broad part of bath&#8221; for WIDCOMBE [COMB in WIDE].<\/p>\n\n\n<div\nstyle=\"color:#222222;background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#fafafa;border-style:solid;border-width:3px;padding-top:30px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:30px;--pollify-submit-button-bg-color: #3858e9;--pollify-submit-button-text-color: #ffffff;--pollify-submit-button-hover-text-color: #ffffff;--pollify-submit-button-hover-bg-color: #000000;--pollify-closing-banner-bg-color: #f8dad8;--pollify-closing-banner-text-color: #d82e20\" class=\"wp-block-pollify-poll has-text-color has-background has-border-color\">\n\t<div class='pollify-poll-form'>\n\t\t<h4 class=\"poll-title rich-text\">To what extent is false addition or removals of capital letters acceptable?<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form action=\"post\" class=\"poll-form\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-anonymous-voting=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-allow-duplicate-prevention=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-voting-method=\"localStorage\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-require-login=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"poll-options-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"option\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"option-selector\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- If optionType is radio then input radio otherwise checkbox -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"radio\" name=\"poll-option\" class=\"radio\" id=\"option--qj6__cRQoUAqsNuzb8VZ\" value=\"-qj6__cRQoUAqsNuzb8VZ\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<label class=\"option-label\" for=\"option--qj6__cRQoUAqsNuzb8VZ\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAnything goes as far as I&#8217;m concerned &#8211;

Having just finished a course in crossword anatomy, she brought with her a pair of fresh eyes, a listening ear, and a willingness to lend a hand, which complemented Doctor Clue\u2019s diagnostic insights, surgical precision, and years of medical experience. With the clinic\u2019s team now 100% larger, momentum for a refurbishment project began to build &#8211; more on that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cc-block-spacing wp-block-paragraph\">This month also brought another milestone, as the Clue Clinic received its 3,000th comment (from John Atkinson, a regular on the site since 2021). It\u2019s always a joy to see your comments, and this milestone provides a good excuse to thank you all for your engagement and support. The Doctors look forward to seeing more discussions in the Forum (coming soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Clinical Observations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May was a bumper month with five barred puzzles from the <em>Observer<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/03\/notes-for-azed-2779\/\">Azed 2,779<\/a>: Plain, 2.5\/5 difficulty.

These included a new layout for the home page, an expanded <a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/about-this-site\/\">About This Site page<\/a> to aid orientation, and more intuitive options for you to comment and interact with the clinicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Doctors have further enhancements up their sleeves (rolled up for reasons of hygiene, of course), including making the Clinical Data lists more user-friendly, and re-launching the discussion forum. Updates will be shared on the <a href=\"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/refurbishment-project-status\/\">Refurbishment Project Status<\/a> page; this is also where you can comment on changes to the site &#8211; prior or planned.

Big Dave\u2019s Crossword Site has an area called <a href=\"https:\/\/crypticcrosswords.net\/puzzles\/rookie-corner\/\">Rookie Corner<\/a> which supports up-and-coming setters; several Rookies have gone on to create puzzles for national newspapers and the Clinic\u2019s own Dr Cluelittle is a recent \u2018graduate\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each puzzle submitted is published, reviewed and commented on by solvers, giving new setters a fantastic opportunity to receive feedback and hone their skills. The Rookie Corner queue is currently empty, so for those of you dreaming of being the next Azed or Gemelo, we strongly encourage you to submit.
