A very convincing winner for this competition – and well deserved! Congratulations to Andrew, runner up last month, going one better this month.
 
The rest of the field were left scrabbling for the remaining points and well done to Rob for what is I believe his highest ever placing. Some more familiar names completed the podium and well done to all for their efforts in what was our first foray into a Wrong Number competition.

Entry Information

Your task for March is a WRONG NUMBER clue to MONEY (5) containing a one-word definition of CLASS. The closing date is MIDNIGHT GMT WEDNESDAY 31st MARCH.
 
A WRONG NUMBER clue is actually a standard cryptic clue to the main word (MONEY in this case), but in addition one word of this clue also defines another "key word" (CLASS in this case).
 
NB, THE ONE-WORD DEFINITION OF "CLASS" SHOULD ACTUALLY FORM PART OF THE CRYPTIC CLUE TO "MONEY", I.E. NOT TO BE REGARDED AS EXTRA, OR REDUNDANT TO YOUR CLUE FOR "MONEY".
 
By way of example here is a winning clue of this type from the Azed archives for the combination MAVIN (THONG):
 
Bird having to strip is in the buff (5)
 
EXPLANATION: MAVIN given by "mav(is) + in"; with "strip" also providing the one-word definition of THONG
 
It would be helpful to structure the explanation of your clue so that it is clear which word is providing the additional definition; so in the case of our example:
 
mav(is) + in; strip
 
As always you may submit only one clue, but you can save, change, delete, submit and resubmit to your heart's content before deciding on your final clue within the given time period.
 
Our primary reference is The Chambers Dictionary (2008 edition), but you may, if you wish, use another dictionary or source, BUT PLEASE STATE SO IN YOUR CLUE'S EXPLANATION.
