Ahhh, that was a great day…
Sweden sits down, calm, completely happy. She pens a letter to Germany to puzzle him.
Hej!
It’s good to jot down you a letter after so lengthy, and I hope the snail mail doesn’t take too lengthy! I’ve a narrative for you. Some of those clues are IKEA patent Crypticesques, with a twist: They might be…
Carried away by oxen, which means one phrase’s first letter disappears,
Burned on the stake, which means any of the letters in WOOD disappears (within the reply (however the clue nonetheless exhibits the unique quantity of letters)),
Eyes gouged out, which means all i’s are eliminated (as soon as once more, solely within the reply, with the clue exhibiting the unique quantity of letters),
Or stabbed within the throat, which means that one phrase has its first two letters eliminated.
NOTICE: some “solutions” is probably not full phrases, however with the assistance of the tortures above, they change into full phrases!
Have enjoyable, and thanks for the whole lot!
Love, Sverige.

TL;DR
These cryptics are in 4 totally different classes. The phrases in them have both misplaced one phrase’s first letter or one phrase’s first TWO letters. Other ones may have their reply with: all I’s eliminated, or all letters in WOOD eliminated. I completed this simply in time for no one to check, so if one thing’s improper/too laborious, simply inform me 🙂
