Reversal Clues

Our definition here is 'Very well done', and our answer will be a word that can also mean 'very well done', in certain contexts.

This clue's indicators are 'occupied by', and 'texting'. 'texting' is a kind of translation indicator where we have to translate some neighbouring fodder into text-speak. If you don't know much text-speak, feel free to look it up! And 'occupied by' is a containing indicator - some fodder will be occupied by and house other fodder.

This clue's fodder is 'but' and 'right now'. We'll need to find a specific kind of substitute for one of these and use it with the letters of the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).

Our definition here is 'flipper?' and our answer will be another word for that.

This clue's indicators are 'goes overboard', 'after' and 'swings'. One of these is a deletion indicator - we'll remove some fodder from other fodder. Another is a reversal indicator guiding us to rotate a word, reversing the order of its letters. And 'after' is a simple repositioning indicator - take what precedes it and put it after what follows.

This clue's fodder is 'Boat', 'life-ring' and 'orca'. We'll need to find a short substitute for one of these and use it with the letters of the others to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).

Our definition here is 'Managed', and our answer will be another word for that.

This clue's indicators are 'to return', 'to shelter', and 'played with'. One of these is an anagram indicator - we'll need to manipulate some letters by rearranging them. Another is a containing indicator guiding us to house some letters inside others. And a third is a reversal indicator - turn some neighbouring letters around the other way.

This clue's fodder is 'dog' and 'never'. We'll use these letters to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).

Our definition here is 'Swimming group', and our answer will be a word for a group of swimmers.

This clue's indicators are 'cleared of', 'after', 'second', and 'evacuation?'. Two of these are deletion indicators that work in different ways. "cleared of" sits between two pieces of fodder and asks us to delete one from the other. 'evacuation' pairs with a selection indicator - in this case 'second' - to specify what to delete. And 'after' is a simple repositioning indicator - some fodder will appear after other fodder.

This clue's fodder is 'pool', 'pee', and 'such'. We'll use the letters of two of these, along with a short substitute for the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s). Extra hint: for this clue, it helps to know how letters are spelled...

Our definition here is 'Praise', and our answer will be another word for that.

This clue's indicators are 'the Trinity at the end of', 'retreats', and 'the Right'. Two of these are selection indicators naming the positions of letters to pay attention to in neighbouring fodder. The third is a reversal indicator - take some letters and send them backwards.

This clue's fodder is 'spiritual' and 'Reverend'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
