Around the country one chases show dog (5-2-7)
I believe the answer is:
point-to-pointer
'around the country one chases' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'show dog' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'pointto' (synonyms).
'dog' becomes 'pointer' (pointer is a kind of dog).
'pointto'+'pointer'='POINT-TO-POINTER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for point-to-pointer that I've seen is " cross-country racer".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
