2 May - Solution for the last clue and the next cryptic crossword clue


You're reportedly an American with a heavenly body (6)
Solution – Uranus

This one gave me a bit of a giggle. 

You're reportedly – means something that sounds like "You're" ie Ur

An American = an + US

Ur + an + us = Uranus which is a planet or "heavenly body"

Although the part of the body this makes you think of, isn't exactly heavenly!
