^^ Literally 'horn of plenty'...

[factor-fiction]

I think the key is practise.
Anagrams are usually signposted by words such as 'confused' , 'mixed up' etc

[factor-fiction]

^ the key is TO practise

There's some good info online about solving cryptics if you google, sorry i don't know them well enough to recommend any

[Quizmonkey]

Don Manley's is one of the best.

[Quizmonkey]

His book, I meant: Chambers Crossword Manual.

to start i always recommend completing crosswords which have cryptic AND straight clues and looking at both sets of clues for practise! eg mail on sat's big 'un!

there was also a programme on bbc4 which went through the main types of clues:

you just need to remember the answer will be a definition shown at the beginning or end of the clue and 'build up' the answer from all of the parts!
