20a... Wormy ?

To be free of something is to be rid of it
Leading letter of expedirion is E
So yes, the answer is ride


Leader of expedition ..E with free ..rid .= Ride
You see.... gen2 can type faster than me !
Question Author
I wondered about wormy, shaneystar, but why close to 40? I thought warty could sound close to forty, (depending on your accent!).
Aha.....despicable person is a worm and the close (end) to forty =Y ..Wormy
What I mean is close as in ..close it ..end it
not close as in near ..close by
Question Author
Thanks for the explanations, shaneystar and gen2. Sometimes you just can't see them, especially the short ones which are usually the last.
Question Author
Thanks again shaneystar and don't worry about the typing, your answers are just as valid even if someone gets in first. That usually happens to me.
Lol...see the post below !!
