Hey there, and welcome back to Clued In!
In a cryptic clue, a problem is not really a problem. No, seriously! See, a problem is a problem only if you aren’t able to hold it and examine it and play with it as you explore how to solve it. And the great news is that a cryptic clue can be easily looked over, up and down, left and right, back and forth, inside and out. Short of frisking (which is an offensive invasion of privacy, even for words), every mode of investigation is allowed for a cryptic clue!
