    These are pretty similar to the clues in the Guardian's new Quick Cryptics.

    "Primarily compared" means first letter of compared - C. with fossil fuel - OIL. So COIL, as in WIND a clock.

    Spoiler:


    Difficult and honestly pretty poorly set. Definitions by example are usually indicated but the the surface reading was too tempting for the setter.
    WINS + clinching E (final letter of home) = WINES (red and white are examples)

    Not quite sure how I got it, but used more the definition than the word play…
