Goes and scores (5)
I believe the answer is:
tries
This might be a double definition.
'goes' is the first definition.
'scores' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tries that I've seen before include "Scoring moves in rugby" , "Attempts" .)
