Minute Cryptic September 20 2026 Answer

This clue's indicators are 'Revolutionary', 'found in', and 'drained'. One of these is a reversal indicator – we'll need to turn some neighbouring fodder around, reversing the order of its letters. Another is a containing indicator – we'll need to put some fodder inside other fodder. And the third is a deletion indicator, hinting at which letters need to be removed from neighbouring fodder.

This clue's fodder is 'War' and 'canal'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).

Our definition here is 'Early mode of transport', and note the question mark – it flags that there is an element of stretchiness with this definition.
