Crossword Genius

Odd crew at sea, cramped (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crowded

'cramped' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'odd crew at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates anagramming the letters.
'odd'+'crew'='oddcrew'
'oddcrew' anagrammed gives 'CROWDED'.

(Other definitions for crowded that I've seen before include "Squeezed full of people" , "cramped" , "With too many people" , "Thronged, overfilled" , "Jam-packed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
