Question 1

What does the cryptic crossword clue "Hero on overseas trip books event for players (10)" mean?

Accepted Answer

The definition is "event for players". The wordplay uses a charade (building blocks). TOUR (synonym="‘overseas trip’; ‘overseas’ seems redundant, although it is a French word as well as English. Perhaps Nutmeg had the Grand Tour in mind") + NAME (synonym="‘hero’?") + NT (synonym="New Testament, ‘books’") = TOURNAMENT; definition: "event for players" The answer is TOURNAMENT.
