Hi all,
Clue 3Down A Gaoler (4)
I do not expect the clues to be cryptic.
The answer I have got by solving all the crossing clues is ADAM.
I can see no connnection between my answer and the clue.
Is anyone out there able to enlighten me?

Regards
Richard

Chambershas 'gaoler' as one definition of Adam.

I find Chambers a more interesting read than Shakespeare!

Thank you both.
You are right Jordan - my Shakespeare is almost non existant, and what there is is rusty. Must do better.
I really must get a copy of Chambers, I will put it on my Christmas present wanted list. Thank you Malone.
Regards
Richard

Glad we could help, Richard. I'd struggle with many crosswords if I didn't have Chambers, and it's good for the occasional borwse too!
