Means of travel by land and sea (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
train ferry
'land and sea' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'means of travel' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'means' could be 'train' (I have seen 'Means of transport' mean 'train' so perhaps 'means' could also mean 'train') and 'train' is found within the answer.
'travel' could be 'ferry' (ferrying is a kind of travelling) and 'ferry' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
