For which finally souls get ferry and cross? (4)
I believe the answer is:
styx
'for' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'finally souls get ferry and cross?' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cross?' becomes 'x' (X is cross-shaped).
The last letters of 'souls get ferry' are 'sty'.
'sty'+'x'='STYX'
'which' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for styx that I've seen before include "Mythological river in Hades" , "One of the underworld rivers" , "classical stream" , "One of the rivers of Hades" , "Underworld river; sounds like remote area" .)
