Run inside to slay crustaceans (5)
Solution
- Krill
This
is a container clue with an abbreviation also involved. For more discussion about these, look at the
sidebar under the list of popular posts.
As
is often the case “run” indicates the abbreviation “r” – this comes from the
game of cricket which is not played much, if at all, in the US.
“inside”
is the word that points to the clue being a container one, ie “r” is inside a
word meaning “slay”. Because the
solution has 5 letters you know that this word has 4. “kill” matches those criteria.
K
+ r + ill = krill
Krill
are a sort of crustacean – teensy ones that whales eat – often known as
plankton.
