This time it's a little bit harder. Each clue has two parts: a definition and an anagram of the answer. You have to figure out which bit is which, and turn the anagram into a word meaning (sometimes a bit loosely) the definition.
It's easier than it sounds. For example, let's try this clue:
Max peel instance (7)
Hmm, we need seven letters, so the anagram part must be "Max peel", and it means something like "instance"...
Example!
To make this look more like a crossword, the squares are 3 spaces wide. So the answer "example" would look like this:
