The Foxer
To completely defox today’s word chain you’ll need to provide Roman, my Chief Foxer Setter, with the sequence of 24 words suggested by the clues below.
A word can be any length and is linked to the next word in the chain by its last two or three letters. For instance ‘honeysuckle’ might be followed by ‘leviathan’. ‘Handel’ could come next. Then ‘delta’. And so on. Complicating things a tad are the six orange italicised clues. These have been shuffled. For example “A prize won by this man” probably doesn’t refer to word #24.
1. A WW1 AFV, a Half-Life 2 mod, and a British museum ship
2. A country that has no Olympic medals to its name
3. Something you might find in a circus, door, or kitchen
4. Found on boats, sports fields, and in coal mines
5. This city district where this picture was taken
6. A word than can go before cross, League, and walking
