Huge flier off course, rare bird on course? (9,9)
I believe the answer is:
wandering albatross
'huge flier' is the definition.
'wandering albatross' can be an answer for 'flier' (wandering albatross is a kind of birdanimal). I am unsure of the 'huge' bit.
'course rare bird on course?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'course' could be 'w' and 'w' is present in the answer.
'rare' could be 'r' (listed by Oxford Dictionary of Abbreviations) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'bird' could be 'albatross' (albatross is a kind of bird) and 'albatross' is found within the answer.
'course?' could be 'n' and 'n' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'off' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for wandering albatross that I've seen is " Oceanic animal - large bird's not a swan (anag)".)
