It's back - Charley's Cryptic Crossword

Rules are simple I put the clues up - all you WHO clever arses solve them.
I have the answers, I will occasionally put a bit of a stinker clue in, to slow you down 16 clues a day = 80 per week = 320 per month

I can't guarantee will be able to set/provide the answers everyday or give everybody an encouraging pat on the back

"For middle of the month" = replace middle of month.

I had to Google it too - I was unaware of the variant Janizary of Janissary.

It exists, but I suspect there are very few people know that without looking it up, who haven't got a doctorate in Turkish history.

I Googled the answer. Would never have solved it in a million years.

Where does the clue say to drop the U from January? I see that the IZ comes from one unknown.

I'd rather have a spelling variant than a covid variant

Which is 8 across.

Saturday's prize, not Friday's Cryptic, which starts with 7 across.

Sorry, I meant the first across clue!

Re: It's back - Charley's Cryptic Crossword

I don't see a 1 across. The Prize Crossword for today starts with 7 across.

If anyone's struggling with the Guardian (non-)prize crossword, 1 across has got a variant spelling for answer. I hate it when they do that
