Anyone into cryptic crosswords?
How about a game where a cryptic clue is presented, but there are no predetermined limits like number of letters or previously filled in letters.
So it'll go something like "Careless slide into brick carrier (8)"
Careless for the overall meaning of the answer, which is made up of slides=slips+ brick carrier=hod and the 'into' suggests joining the two together which gives "slipshod".
Pretty much run of the mill for the average cryptic crossword addict.
First to solve the clue provides the next one.
So to start:
Provide drink on shortened laminated board (6)
