Might have a hope of finding bear by second lake, if they take risk (5,1,6)
I believe the answer is:
stand a chance
'risk' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'might have a hope of finding bear by second lake if they' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'second' could be 's' (common abbreviation) and 's' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'take' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
