Belt
9d.Beat?
My first thought was belt. I'll think of some more...
I just think it's lazy cluing when the setter could have done better.
Question Author
Agree Mama, they must know that there are multiple answers, and obviously it's their decision as which one they pick x
Yes, it's infuriating. Naughty setter. Welt??
Question Author
Think I'll go with Beat, for no other reason then I've got to pick one answer - UGH!!!!
There goes another possibility.This is a preposterous clue
Question Author
So far = BELT,BEAT, PELT and WELT
It was beAt in July, with identical wording of clue. I tend to assume same answer. If you reason it back the way, the compiler looks up "beat" in whichever dictionary, and "hit, strike" is the first definition. " Belt", for example, probably has "strip of cloth..." as its first definition, with "hit" lower down the listed meanings.
