Current means of escape for a fox? (5)
I believe the answer is:
earth
'fox?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earth that I've seen before include "Dirty hole" , "Human world" , "Heart (anag)" , "The 3rd planet from the sun" , "Meek's inheritance" .)
