Can a clue link to a word only through a chain of association, like GREEN for COW via GRASS?
Yes. Clues must relate to what the words mean, not their shape, sound, or spelling, so a chained association is legal even when it is hard to guess. One poster disagreed, saying the clue must relate to the word itself rather than to another word.
