Minute Cryptic is a daily single-question cryptic crossword, with a hint system and an explanation (Youtube video - it appears the channel came before the website).

Definitely worth checking out if you have any interest in cryptic crosswords, which are funnier and more interesting (imho) than standard crosswords.

These are two clues from an old Globe and Mail cryptic. I know the answers to both, but the answers don't make any sense to me.

--

Silly things but capital savers (5)

spoilerGEESE

--

Mimi's was frozen on watch (6 4)

spoilerMINUTE HAND

--

Any ideas for either of these?

I created a crossword community here to provide a home for fellow wordplay enthusiasts. Possible replacement for r/crossword, for those (like me) leaving Reddit.
