    Didn't like 14A wordplay; if "cycling" is an anagrind, where is the word to be "cycled" to get WELLS?

      Cycling means take a letter from the start and place it at the end or vice-versa. A word for expand is SWELL - cycle the S to the end to get WELLS

      Thank you for your reply; I have never seen "cycling" used in that way. I have always regarded it as an anagrind. Can you point to a link that will explain?
