Minute Cryptic October 15 2026 Answer
The Thursday Minute Cryptic is a single cryptic clue you can solve in about a minute. Read the clue, take the hints one at a time, and reveal the answer with the full wordplay explained.
“Are you okay recording rap about overcoming obstacles on the streets? (7)”
This clue's indicators are 'recording' and 'about'. One is a reversal indicator, telling us that the letters of some nearby fodder need to be written in reverse order. The other is a homophone indicator, telling us to consider how some neighbouring fodder sounds and replace it with its soundalike.
This clue's fodder is 'Are you okay' and 'rap'. We'll use the letters of one, along with a substitute for the other, to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
Our definition here is 'overcoming obstacles on the streets?', and our answer will be a word that could describe this, with the question mark implying some stretchiness.
