Phrase OK?

(1/1)

cranberry44:
I'd like to use the entry "bite to eat." Clue: Snack. Do I need to say in the clue "with a"? (Is "with a" or "with the" usually used for titles only?)
I'm hoping just plain old "bite to eat" is OK.

mmcbs:
I don't think you need to qualify it, but the editor has the final say on clues, anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. Used once in a puzzle clued "Quick meal". This passes the substitution rule for clue - if the answer and clue are interchangeable in a sentence, the clue is OK:

"I'm going to have a bite to eat"
"I'm going to have a little snack"

BITE TO EAT = Little snack

Nice! Thanks a lot, Mark!
