Minute Cryptic October 10 2026 Answer
The Saturday 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.
“Lie about rear dashcam after reversing vehicle and smashing (7)”
This clue's indicators are 'about', 'rear', 'after' and 'reversing'. One is a reversal indicator, telling us that the order of the letters in some neighbouring fodder will reverse. Another is a containing indicator, guiding us to place some fodder outside other fodder. There is also a repositioning indicator, showing us the order in which to arrange our fodder. And there is a selection indicator, pointing to an important letter in neighbouring fodder.
This clue's fodder is 'Lie', 'dashcam', and 'vehicle'. We'll use the letters (or some of them) of two of these, along with a short substitute for the other, to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
Our definition here is 'smashing', and our answer will be another word for that.
