That's a good clue to show people who can't grasp that every word in a cryptic clue plays a part.
Those raising concern in letter before member added to rolls(9).

The answer is obviously Alarmists so..

'arm' added to 'lists' to give larmists, how do you explain the first A?

'letter before' - A
letter before what?
I'm clearly missing something, why does letter before = A?

Thanks.

(there is a )letter before member (Arm)added to rolls (Lists)


Is the only way I can parse it.
Thanks Mamyalynne. The clue doesn't say a letter so why to assume it's an A I'm not sure.

Anyway maybe Captain2 may offer a view after his earlier post
'That's a good clue to show people who can't grasp that every word in a cryptic clue plays a part.'

We'll have to see, thanks again.
I agree, some fresh eyes on it would help.

Perhaps post it in a question of its own rather than tagged onto this thread from last Friday.
