Ran out of boys (7)
I believe the answer is:
petered
'ran out of boys' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for petered that I've seen is " exhausted".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
