Sorry for jumping on your post, but I don't want the whole section taken up with lots of different asks about the same crossword.....Stuck on 13a. This group will direct a company from Snake Road (5). C - A - D. Can anyone help me out, please. I can see the obvious word (chard), but maybe I'm missing the correct answer, and why it is so. Thank you.
