I created a Minute Cryptic for you to solve: Combining a confusing hint and good hand? (5) Give it your best shot! https://www.minutecryptic.com/custom/4f40d915-0b60-41dc-9a16-0cdf2fb356d9?utm_source=share

Long term doer, first time creator - gosh it's hard! Any thoughts welcomed. Destroy it if you have too, keen to learn to do both sides of this puzzling well :)
