| I am probably being thick but I don't understand how three definitions in a double def and wordplay clue works. Presumably one of the definitions is supposed to be the second definition of a clue where the first one isn't given which just doesn't seem right. In some cases (like MATER in 31) there is really only one definition anyway so how can it be wordplay? |
