Solution for 22 July cryptic crossword clue



Former partner and board member, last of many not listed (2-9)
Solution – Ex-directory


Ok, if you are "ex-directory" you are not listed in the phone book.  I imagine phone books won't be around for too much later with the internet taking over.


So you can build up "ex-directory" from the first 3 parts of the clue.


An "ex" is a former partner


A director is another name for a board member


And "last of many" simply means that the last letter of the word "many" is used.


Ex + director + y = ex-directory
