Computer programmer ropes in good old chap (6)
I believe the answer is:
codger
'old chap' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'computer programmer ropes in good' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is located in the answer.
'programmer' could be 'coder' and 'coder' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for codger that I've seen before include "Old bloke" , "Old-fashioned geezer" , "Old geezer" , "Old person" , "A senior" .)
