A bad position to be left in (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
the lurch
This might be a double definition.
'a bad position' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'left in' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'to be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
