Let’s find the answers to the One Working With A Crook? (5,6) crossword clue for the December 13, 2024 edition of Irish Daily Mail Quick crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 11 letters. Start with S and end with R, and the possible solutions are SALINOMETER, SALTCHUCKER, SHEEPFARMER.
The answer is SHEEPFARMER.
"One Working With A Crook? (5,6)," the answer SHEEPFARMER is a playful solution involving a double meaning. The phrase "one working" refers to a person who works, and a "sheep farmer" fits this description as they work with livestock. The phrase "with a crook" has a clever twist: it not only refers to a shepherd's crook, a tool commonly used by sheep farmers, but "crook" can also mean a criminal, adding a humorous layer to the clue. The question mark at the end of the clue indicates that the solution is meant to be taken figuratively, playing on the dual meanings of "crook." Thus, the answer combines both the literal occupation of a sheep farmer and the more playful suggestion of "working with a crook." The solution fits both the wordplay and the definition cleverly.
