Check out HiLite’s inaugural cryptic crossword! This puzzle functions similar to a typical crossword, however, clues are broken into 2 segments—typically definition and wordplay.

For example:

grief sounds like beginning of day — mourn (grief, homophone of [morn]ing)
paper pile mixed male horse — ream (unit of paper, anagram of mare)

Hints can also provide two different clues to the answer. See:

subject to control — discipline (subject, to control)
henchman to sell — pawn (henchman, to sell)

Best of luck and come back tomorrow for another game!
