I know I've asked this clue before but I'm not totally happy with my answer 1. Permit loses 50 to get argon. Only suggestion I've had is Alloa, but either my answer is wrong or the clue is wrong. Anybody got a better suggestion?
No better suggestion but it would work for Alloa if it had a 'sounds like' in the clue. ALLOW loses an L and takes AR which gives you ALOWAR - sounds like Alloa
Thanks Christiana and geo0939, but none of the other clues are "sounds like" and I'm wondering if we are supposed to take away the W and put in A for argon, that would work, but nothing to do with 50. And according to Google, argon is Ar. Will give it another day of thought.
