Is this how The Giant greeted his guest with The Wards - the ones who took the plane? (9)
I believe the answer is:
hijackers
'is this how the giant greeted his guest with the wards the ones who took the' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is a plural noun.
'plane?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'plane?' could be 'jack' (jack plane is a kind of plane) and 'jack' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
