Commanding Officer taken round state
capital (5)
Solution
– Cairo
Commanding
Officer = the abbreviation CO
Put
that “around” something meaning “state” – it has to be 3 letters long.
So
CO around “air” which can mean “state” gets you cairo – which is the capital of
Egypt.
The
misleading bit of the clue is that you could easily think the answer was the
name of a “state capital”.
