17 January - Solution for the last clue and the next cryptic crossword clue



A wanderer, some say, that gets up one's nose (5)
Solution – aroma

I love this clue. 

A = a (funny that!)

Wanderer = roamer

A + roma (being a word that sounds like roamer) = aroma which is a smell that of course "gets up one's nose".  A Roma is also a term sometimes used to describe gypsies or travellers so the clue works on that level as well.

Hint – This is a charades clue which also contains an anagram
