Take A Break February 2021 Missing Links P16, 9 Across
In the Take a Break February Missing Links puzzle on p16
I believe I have the following answers correct:
7 across (Food, Ink, Summer) = Indian
4 down (Betting, Long, On) = Edge
5 down (Certainty, Horse, Post) = Racing
That gives me the letters E_I_ for 9 across (see diagram below). The words to link are Bear, Sheep and Tight.
The best answer I can come up with is Exit because of Tight Exit. But I don't think Sheep Exit, Exit Sheep, Bear Exit or Exit Bear would work. I'm completely stumped! Help!
-- E-R
INDIAN
-- G-C
-- E-I-- (This is where 9 across would go)
-----N
