Thanks Pammechu
ReplyDeleteEager craving for proper model shirt (7)
ReplyDeleteI don't see how ATHIRST, which of course is the compiler's intended answer, is derived.
Eager craving is the def, OK
for is connector
may be proper - we can take this as anagrind
model is T
shirt - part of anag fodder
How do we get 'a' that is part of the answer?
I had a similar query for 22D how is MI reversed to get IM
ReplyDeleteI suppose the definition is restricted to EAGER and the A somehow comes from 'craving'
ReplyDeleteFigure the shooting range presents a risk (6) - {D}ANGER*
ReplyDeleteWhat is D? Figure?
D is Roman numeral for 500.
ReplyDeleteWith 'figure' were you probably thinking Namitha would loom large?
