Helpful Hints
- 'initial' and 'Buried' are our indicators — one tells us to take a first letter, and the other tells us that one set of letters needs to be placed over or around another set.
- Our fodder is 'Forger', 'on map — it shows treasure spot!' and 'gold'. We'll need to use the letters of one, and find short substitutes for the other two, configuring them all as the indicators direct.
- The definition is 'fake' — all of our wordplay will lead us to another word for 'fake'.
