Help!!!

Could somebody please give me any ideas how to solve cryptic clues. I am doing a cryptic quiz which cannot be asked on the site but really struggling as to how to solve some of them. Any help would be great. Thank you

Here is a guide

There are dozens of useful sites available. This is just one example

Many clues rely on anagrams. Usually there is an anagram indicator word like -confused, organise, etc

Beaten to it.

Thank you both so much. I have done most of them but the last half dozen are driving me crazy. Not very good with cryptics but the really hard ones I just cannot see where to go from here. I will check these sites out thank you once again.

And to look at the crosswords section on here you will see clues, solutions and often explanations of the solution.

These are great sites. Hopefully they will help me to solve these questions.
