We had a fabulous response to yesterday’s clue.

Congrats to Samit Kallianpur, Debasmita, Ramesh SS, Sandhya, Raghavan S V, Sreeprakash S, Dhirendra, Raju Umamaheswar and Lis Venky who got it correct.

The Clue was “Digital green light that might be used to make a vehicle stop (6-2). The Answer was “Thumbs-up”.

It was a Cryptic Definition clue with a pun on “digital” to mean the thumb.

Usually these clues are tough to solve outside a grid. So well done indeed to all who got it correct:)
