I invite you to write a clue for a word or phrase containing the letters of EASY, in that order, but possibly with words or spaces in between.
Here are the clues for WG55 and my attempts to interpret them. Can Kevin and David offer a little help?
From Kevin Wald:
Ocean trip that keeps happening at a certain time of year (10)
SEASONALLY: SEA SALLY with ON; def. is "at a certain time of year"
That pigpen is rife with fungus (6)
YEASTY: YEA (as in "that thing is yea big") + STY, def. is "rife with fungus" Assets of about 2000 pounds your country invested in lumber (8 5)
Sorry, I just haven't been able to get this one.
From Luciano:
Molly Maguires ultimately act, yes, violently (7) Luciano
ECSTACY: anagram ("violenty") of S + ACTYES; def. is "Molly"
Provocatively drink alone (9)
TEASINGLY: TEA + SINGLY; def is "provocatively."
From David A:
Elementary energy aligned with a combination of sulphur and yttrium (5)
I think this is EASY, with four letters: E + A + S + Y. Right?

My recollection is that there are 2240 pounds in a ton!Assets of about 2000 pounds your country invested in lumber (8 5)Assets = TREASURY NOTES
Sorry, I just haven't been able to get this one.
about = reversal indicator
2000 pounds = TON
your = YR (conventional abbreviation)
country = USA
TON + YR + USA reversed = ASURYNOT
lumber = TREES
ASURYNOT invested in TREES = TRE(ASURY NOT)ES
