Examples

“Cooking that’s fuss-free, requiring no bits of expensive equipment before you start (4,3) [...] As woks are fairly cheap equipment and stir-fry cooking is a fairly simple process, the whole clue is an extended definition, so a “semi-&lit”.”

“Who published articles in German about scientific topics originally? (8) EIN + EIN ("articles in German") about S(cientific) T(opics) [originally] and semi &lit.”

“Clue of the day: A semi &lit: the definition cannot be read in a stand-alone way.”
