To see if anyone bites, a baby cryptic crossword clue to start with:

Call is pretty acidic (5)

[+] [-] Solution

Good use of new gizmo? Or should the answer be revealed downthread?

Nice.

I think the spoilers thing is best, because then, months later, coming to the thread, somebody could still have a go at the earlier puzzles without worrying about jumping to the end of the thread and seeing the answer first.

My thoughts azzactly, but just after I posted this I had another idea:

Alternatively, the puzzle-setter could leave it without the solution at all and puzzle-solvers could use the gizmo in reply. This would keep the solution at maximum hiddenness, with setter exclaiming: "(insert successful barbebrain here) - YES!" in response to confirm solution.

It might be a bit top heavy doing it that way. However, people would be able to say to themselves: "Damn! Princess got there first. RIGHT. I'm redoubling my efforts..." Which might be more fun.
