I am definitely not good at cryptic crosswords but feel this is both fun and a good way to get better

Well I worked out the answer but cannot for the life of me work out how to use the website

Me too!
Do the hints always reveal the answer?
Or do we type in the answer?
I’m confused.

Time flatters me as I started and then had a call and returned and it restarted the clock
