Sunday Express £1,000 Prize Crossword


29 down: "A thin, light, delicate or fibrous piece or strand, such as a wisp of smoke or lock of hair." (4)
_I_P
It can surely only be WISP but that word appears in the clue so is it a compiler error?

Collins dictionary describes WISP as follows:

"a thin, light, delicate or fibrous piece or strand, such as a streak of smoke or lock of hair"

so the setter of this puzzle appears to have replaced the word "streak" with "wisp" in error

Ah that explains it.
Many thanks jazzgirl.
