Daily Telegraph Prize Crossword £500 Saturday November 26th 2011
3 Answers
Last question : 40A : Discharged (7) : _M_T_E_ : I've seen suggestions of both EMITTED and EMPTIED - it could be either. Google word association comes up with 4.8 million hits for emitted, and 17.2 million hits for emptied. What do the great minds on Answerbank think is best?
Answers
I preferred 'emptied' too - both Chambers & Collins give 'discharge' in their definitions for 'empty', but neither do for 'emit'.
I suppose it'll come down to what the compiler was thinking when they set the puzzle...
