Hello Everyone
I'm stuck on 1 of the cryptic clue. I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I need help understanding why.
44 across - Was obliged to pay for duck we had briefly.
I have owed (we part of clue and intersecting words are drOp off and intenDed).
Can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks.
Hi catgirl
I have OWED also.
"O" stands for duck in cricket. "OWED" is a synonym of "OBLIGED", that how I saw it.
Good Luck.
