Here are six stand-alone cryptic crossword clues. Each clue contains a normal definition and a wordplay definition for the same answer. For example, consider this clue: Tavern they say is trendy (3). The number in parentheses indicates that the answer is 3 letters long. The normal definition (Tavern) points to "INN". The wordplay definition (they say is trendy) indicates that we are looking for a homophone (indicated by "they say") of "IN" (trendy).
