capone?

[JJ109]

Hood

[aelmpvw]

'cap one' a good answer to a poor clue

[Tilly2]

Capone lived in Chicago, didn't he?

[Toorak]

He was born in New York

Either Capone or hood would work

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Toorak.

[mallyh]

I went with capone as the clue said.. cover a

[JJ109]

and I went with Hood as
Hood (cover), a New York villain (hood)
Both answers work!

[fiction-factory]

Dummyflutter or mouseymick will confirm hood I expect

[Dummyfluter]

Yank 6,22,17,9

[Toorak]

I’m not sure how ‘yank’ works?

[mallyh]

well that makes no sense lol

[aelmpvw]

how does yank work?

[fiction-factory]

Dummyflutter has had a 50% success rate recently. I am certain YANK is wrong though.

[Dummyfluter]

Yank is a pejorative term in America , first mainly used during the time of the American Civil War by Southerners against Northerners

[Toorak]

But how does it fit the rest of the clue?

[Toorak]

...or any of the clue actually?

Canopy - anagram of Capo and NY

[fiction-factory]

If YANK works for you dummyflutter you go for it. None of us can see how it fits the clue at all though

[Toorak]

I don’t see an anagram indicator Ken
