This is the last clue I need to complete my first cryptic crossword.

I assume it's: Sounds like / You weary / of African city.

Four letters. _y_e

All I can think of is "Tyre" (sounds like tire), which is the name of a lebanese city. Lebanon is not in Africa. Cairo is too long and I don't know any others.

Any clues?

Strong links with Africa in ancient times.

When you say you assume it's

Sounds like / You weary / of African city.

Could you tell us whether that's the exact clue or not?

The clue as written is:

20. Sounds like you weary of African city (4)

Well done Mamya! Nice to see you too.

...Andy well done Cyning for completing your first cryptic crossword.

The word is your oyster now!

...or world even!

Haha, I'm not convinced I see the link! But I can't see alternatives... thank you very much, anyway.

Cyning ,that's very rude. Mamya's answer is rock solid. Look up 'homophone'

I didn't mean to sound rude! I'm just saying that even if Tyre had links with Africa, it's not an African city.

I know what a homophone is, thank you.
