Question Author
It is, and i`m pretty sure the letters are right
usurps ?
This ahs appeared in crossword before.Answer was USURP. Not my understanding of the word but it was right before and it fits now
i meant USURPS not usurp
Question Author
Not my understanding of Usurps either Factor and thats why i was puzzled. of all the words that i found that could fit within the pattern; USURPS has the closest meaning but had to be shoe-horned in, so to speak
A pretender is "a claimant to the throne or to the office of ruler (usually without just title)"
So a pretence can be a claim to the throne.
To usurp means to take power- i.e. to turn the pretence into reality
