Daring duck? (4)
I believe the answer is:
game
This might be a double definition.
'daring' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'duck?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for game that I've seen before include "See 8" , "Lark" , "Final declaration of tennis result - . . . ., set and match" , "Animals hunted for food" , "Eager and willing to accept challenge" .)
