What could be Jersey's top team on channel (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
crew neck
'channel' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'what could be jersey's top team' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'top' could be 'neck' (I have seen 'top of bottle' mean 'neck' so perhaps 'top' could also mean 'neck') and 'neck' is located in the answer.
'team' could be 'crew' (crew is a kind of team) and 'crew' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crew neck that I've seen before include "Round top of a jersey" , "Close-fitting round jersey opening" , "Type of jumper" , "Some wear" .)
