Anyone done today's Telegraph crossword and able to tell me why 10A is what I've got?

Please?
I have an answer but only because it's basically the only word that will fit. I want to know why though!
Big Dave has let me down today.

I've done it but can't be bothered to go downstairs and get it. What's the clue / answer you have?

Shannith · 27/05/2023 20:03

Yes tell us the clue and I'll have a bash. I sometime do it with FIL and we make a good gist of it together.

Fist! I can spell, just not type with thumbs at speed!

Clue is:
"Catch handlebar perhaps, resulting in pain"

Letters I have: H?A?T?C?E

Only word I can make fit is heartache..

Yes I've got heartache too but not entirely sure why other than as you say it fit and is a synonym of pain. The letters in heartache are all found in 'catch handlebar' but the clue doesn't really make it clear which letters to use.

It is heartache.

catch = hear
handlebar = tache (moustache)

hear tache

Awesome, thank you! I shall go and share that with my dear old dad. (We were racing to see who'd finish first and that was last in for both of us!).

Ahh, great! I love doing the cryptic crossword with my dad too, though he is a demon at them and I’m definitely still learning!
