I have always thought crucible is a container used in the science laboratory and the name of a famous venue for snookers in Sheffield, Yorkshire. This morning, I looked up Chambers which told me it is also a severe test or trial. Indeed! I stared at this puzzle blankly for a couple of minutes until 15Across gave me a drop of that golden elixir.

An incredibly difficult offering from Tees today. Incredibly difficult, so far as I’m concerned, anyway. I can just imagine all those people logging on to this blog in the hope that they can be helped. I’m afraid I’m not offering much. There are some very good clues here, but too often for my liking they become impenetrable.
