Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'after', 'spent', and 'devouring'. One of these tells us to remove some fodder from other fodder (deletion), and another suggests that some fodder will go around some other fodder (containing). As well as these, while 'after' can commonly be a positioning indicator (used to suggest the rearrangement of two chunks of fodder), here it's indicating an order of operations (after something is spent, something is devoured).
- This clue's fodder is 'Shivers', 'hour' and '50'. We'll need to find short substitutes for two of these and use them with the letters of a third to construct our answer, as guided by our indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'Shades of Grey', and our answer will be an example of shades of grey.
