Cryptic Crossword Clues

[novice]

I've been challenging myself to create some "& lit." clues. They are by nature a bit easier to solve, so to compensate for that I'm not listing the number of letters in the answers.

40. Directed light!

41. Deceiving otherwise agile minds!

42. Lineage in the making!

43. Vile alignment!

44. Fabled for a rent within financial means!

Also, here's a regular one, a little cute:

45. Odd avatar for American tower. (3)

Nice work. Here are my answers:

40. L.E.D.
41. Misleading
42. Kin
43. Evil
44. Affordable

Thanks, I was particularly happy about #44, where one of the words really plays a pivotal role. Your answers are correct, of course.

AHAHAHA.

J.

(w)reckless driver

That one was simply brilliant! Should teach me a thing or two about tunnel vision and getting lost in details.

Glad you enjoyed it.

L. Money collector is in the lead of land of wild game. (6,6) (not solved!)

Monkey Island (wild game=Monkey Island, money collector=monkey, is in the lead of land=island)

I was kind of thinking along those lines earlier, but the specific solution evaded me.

All very impressive stuff.

But the tricky bit is put them into a crossword, like this. :-)

Having already seen your site, I was wondering when you'd stop by.

Of course a full crossword is harder to construct, but easier to solve.
