Word with space or Banks
Answer:
OUTER
Hint:
Think of a term that describes something beyond Earth's atmosphere or the edge of a circular area.
Explanation:
This clue plays on two meanings of "space." First, "outer space" is the area beyond Earth's atmosphere, giving us "OUTER." Second, "Banks" refers to the musician Banks, whose hit song "Outer Space" makes the word a fitting answer. The word "with" simply links the two interpretations, hinting that "OUTER" pairs with either "space" or "Banks."
