Hi,
Thank you rambler & rossim for answering my crossword 'question'!
But thank you, rossim, (sorry rambler), especially for explaining how you came to the conclusion that the answer is 'CORRAL'!!
Just to let you both know: I like the challenge of 'doing' cryptic cross
-words!
But although I have 1 anagram dictionary (very old), 1 'Scrabble Word Lists' book, 1 'Solving Cryptic Crosswords' book, 2 crossword solver books,
2 'How to do crosswords' books (1 very old), 2 'The Complete Crossword Companion' books (1 very old), 3 crossword dictionaries (1 very old), 4 crossword solver devices, 5 dictionaries (1 of them an old Oxford Concise & another an old Encarta International English) & 5 thesauruses I still could not solve the clue!!
Probably a mistake on my part as I did not 'look' at everything 'my disposal' and I do not think it is cheating!!!!
Lastly, might return as I have another 4 more clues to solve from the same crossword puzzle!
Thank you both again from mahjonng
P.S. Reason I use nickname 'mahjonng' is because I like playing different types of Mah-jonng computer games.
