Reptile to closely watch woman on a road (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
monitor lizard
'reptile' is the definition.
(monitor lizard is a kind of reptile)
'closely watch woman on a road' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'watch' could be 'monitor' (I've seen this before) and 'monitor' is present in the answer.
'woman' could be 'liza' and 'liza' is found in the answer.
'road' could be 'rd' (abbreviation for road) and 'rd' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monitor lizard that I've seen before include "Reptile" , "Beast" .)
