Minute Cryptic Answer for March 4, 2026
The answer to today’s clue is Tryout. The indicators are ‘second’, ‘twice removed’, and ‘crushed’. Among these indicators, one is a selection indicator that guides us in selecting some letters from the neighboring fodder. Another is a deletion indicator, which means we need to delete some fodder from other fodder. The last is an anagram indicator, meaning we have to mix up some letters to find the answer. Simple enough!
Today’s clue’s fodder are ‘Otto your’, and ‘cousin’, and we need to use some of these letters to construct the final answer, as guided by the indicators mentioned previously. ‘Audition’ becomes the definition for today, which appears at the end of the clue, and the answer is another word for it. Tryouts and auditions become interchangeable in certain contexts, hence the former is your answer.
So, how did the audition for today’s Minute Cryptic clue go? Did you nail the solution and get the answer? Or did the hints assist you with a successful solution? Let us know in the comments section below.
