Own search party with two bucks (7)
I believe the answer is:
possess
'own' is the definition.
(I know that own can be written as possess)
'search party with two bucks' is the wordplay.
'search party' becomes 'posse' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with two bucks' becomes 'ss' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'posse'+'ss'='POSSESS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for possess that I've seen before include "Have - control" , "influence" , "Have and hold" , "Own, keep" , "Have as one's own" .)
