Re: easy cryptics
I thought of "Demand" but discarded it because there was no indicator to suggest a hidden clue. It is an improperly constructed clue; in its absence, my answer as a double definition is reasonable.garam-kuta wrote:goodcitizn wrote:Hgaram-kuta wrote:really simple. don't google.

Re: easy cryptics
Look up the synonym for essential; wanted is one. Made request also implies wanted.garam-kuta wrote:i must disagree. wanted doesn't fit the definition of either mandatory or essential .goodcitizn wrote:I thought of "Demand" but discarded it because there was no indicator to suggest a hidden clue.
