troubling?
I still find these very difficult to read. Have you tried posting each one on a new line?

Hope3

a better layout is

?R?U????

[fiction-factory]

Brouhaha is right. Ignore mine.
But please don't ignore my suggestion to put each clue on a new line. Most people find ??? easier to read than --- and putting the letter count at the end in brackets helps too

[hope3fully]

many thanks

Sorry Mamyalynne- crossed posts

No need, a shared purpose.

You both have admirable tenacity and patience :-)

on 2d I initially thought the answer was 4 letters and that the invisible border was a separate clue? Was the ---- part of the 2d clue?

[Mamyalynne]

only one dash in the printed clue
