I'm working on the 8/7/2018 Guardian daily cryptic. I can obviously get the answers online, but would like to be able to solve it myself. However, I'm not getting the ABC clues. For example, 16D clue is ABC, bird catching worm finally ending in despair (7). Answer is CRANMER. I get R as the last letter, but not the rest. Another one is 15A. Praise ABC (4). Answer is LAUD. I understand laud as praise, but don't get the relationship to ABC. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
