Minute cryptic

Even par. Best result in a few days.

Had to take hint and two letters. 1 over. Hated that one

Got it first guess today.
'Guess' doing the heavy lifting.

2 under

Hating this one. Why is there a space before the exclamation point?!

Yeah that threw me

Ok 2 under, but that exclamation point is surely a typo?

Crap but at least I’ve learnt a new cryptic mechanic today.

1 under

Grip iron, finally hook drive! (4, 4)

Couple of seconds today. Can go back to being cocky even if it is an easy one.

Guessed it. 1 under

2 under this morning. I think 2 word answers are always easier.

3 over! Just could not get it, and I agree normally 2 word answers I spot quickly

The (non?) existence of an apostrophe in today's clue / answer threw me.

I don't really approve.

1 under.

Excessive concern shown by teacher marking different end to happy day (8)

Are these clues you are posting of your own invention?

No. I just ask chat gpt. "generate me a clue in the style of the listener"

Ha

Do they have solutions?

Two over

2 under, first one I’ve got without any clues.
