I have no idea what this is. can anyone help? I can't make head or tails of loads of the answers in this. Like 1 across (Military leader compared to short female). How do you get "Agatha"?
Most often you break the cryptic clue up to find it is really a number of small clues. After that, getting to know the compiler's favourite ways of hinting at stuff helps.
Thanks for that. I had no idea that Aga was a Turkish war leader and wouldn't have thought of contracting "than" to "tha"! Finding this CW extremely difficult.
