Try each drunken sailor (7)
I believe the answer is:
yachter
'sailor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'try each drunken' is the wordplay.
'drunken' is an anagram indicator.
'try'+'each'='tryeach'
'tryeach' is an anagram of 'YACHTER'.
(Other definitions for yachter that I've seen before include "sailor" , "person on board?" .)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
