Good, free crossword? (4)
I believe the answer is:
grid
'crossword?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'good free' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'free' becomes 'rid' ('rid' can be a synonym of 'free'**).
'g'+'rid'='GRID'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grid that I've seen before include "Network of crossing parallel lines" , "Rectangular lattice" , "Lattice, mesh" , "Regular pattern of horizontal and vertical lines" , "Grating of parallel bars" .)
