Got 3 out of 5 today.
ReplyDeleteLAT4: The odd chat and even vitriol provide delta capital (5).
Easy acrostic.
ST3: Use caution when driving toward the rising sun (4,4)
Wrong grid, found this in LAT, and you used the first word the same in both clues. The last half was a good charade though.
ST4: Precise volume is repeated, in short (7)
Literal sort of fits precise, but I can't see it nor any other word cryptically fitting the other half.
ST5: A womanly shape lacks Cassiopeia’s rarity (7)
Several words fit womanly shape: Delilah, scenery, obesity, but I can't see the cryptic in any of them. Cassie always told the truth or could see the future, but was cursed that no one would believe her. Don't see how that can be twisted into a cryptic.
ST6: Sounds like a short order to incorporate corpulence (7)
Oh, be (a) city is a rough homophone, but I guess it will do.
