Question 1

What does the cryptic crossword clue "What might be on table is put with McDonald’s food (no starter) (5,4)" mean?

Accepted Answer

The definition is "What might be on table". The wordplay uses a deletion. PLACE (synonym="”put”") + M (synonym="McDonald’s") + ATS (synonym="”food” without the starting letter M for McDonald’s as in the yellow M ‘golden arches’ logo/symbol – I think I first saw this in a Paul puzzle a long time ago") = PLACEMATS The answer is PLACEMATS.
