This is from Games World of Puzzles, February 2024. The puzzle is "Beginnings and Endings" by Patrick Berry. The clue is: Choose a filling for pastries (Hyph.) and the answer is: POP-TARTS The explanation given is: (opt + parts) I see how OPT means "choose", and POP-TARTS are "pastries", but I don't see how "a filling for" can give both PARTS and an anagram or container indicator. "Filling" could be a container indicator, of course, but that would mean that "for" would have to be used to define PARTS. -- Joshua Kreitzer gromit82@hotmail.com
