Avoids Western cities? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dodges
This could be a double definition.
'avoids' is the first definition.
(dodging is a kind of avoiding)
'western cities?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
(Other definitions for dodges that I've seen before include "Evasive manoeuvres" , "Eludes or evades" , "Sidesteps, evades" , "Avoids -tricks" , "Moves in order to avoid" .)
