Solution for 26 July cryptic crossword clue



Expectation of the man taking work on board (4)

Solution – hope

A short solution today.

Hope = expectation

The man = he

Work = op (Latin abbreviation used in music)

Since the man or "he" is "taking on board" "work" you get "he" round "op" and come up with "hope".

This is an example of a container clue and of a clue that uses abbreviations.
