I'd use "midden" to clue E, personally, but I suspect @GarethMcCaughan would not.
I'd even consider using "Septic tank's finally" to clue I (the seventh letter of "tank's finally") . . . though I probably wouldn't actually do it, and nor do I think @GarethMcCaughan would.
I have done similar things once or twice but usually avoid them. So solvers should have a low prior probability on "midden" meaning E but not see it as 100% impossible. (There is no information in this content about how the current C4 clue actually works.)
I would not, ever, use "septic" to mean "seventh", because "septic" does not mean "seventh".
I have attempted to hide as much information as I can within as little words as possible, while it still makes sense. And while the following paragraph does indeed make sense, that doesn't mean it's easy to read...
This took a very long time to work out, but the following paragraph contains 12 c...

Working on puzzling projects with other people can be quite frustrating when you have very different cluing styles and the other person is your parent.
I think imma step back from puzzle-making for a bit. Running out of ideas and none of my recent puzzles have done well despite me thinking I had good ideas etc. Plus I have some important exams upcoming, even more important now because of the uncertainty with covid. I'll probs be less active for a bit, might post occasionally but definitely less frequent, so if I'm not around thats why :)
I know this question is very similar to GOTO 0's, but all the answers to GOTO 0's question had many repeating letters. I need a word in an official dictionary that all the letters within are adjacent to the next, that also only uses each letter once.
Replace each line below with a new word of similar meaning that is legal in Scrabble. The last two or more letters of each new word must form the start of the next new word, and the first and last new word must be the same word.

It is The Future, and you're living in it.
Flying cars haven't arrived yet, but self-driving cars are a thing. Sort of. After the latest AI uprising, integrated route planners were banned: you have to manually input the route, and the self-driving car will follow it to the best of its ability. T...
Hi there I'm trying to see if I can solve 16*16 grid Sudoku problems. Does anyone know if its more efficient to use advanced Hodoku techniques or simply with basic rules to
cross reference forced chains from 2 cells. So far I have not been successful with advanced Hodoku and am doing far better ...
