It bothers me when a word from the category is in the answers. Maybe that’s just a holdover from doing crosswords where having part of the answer be in the clue is frowned on. A long sandwich is referred to by various names and spellings in different regions, including sub/submarine, hero/gyro/yiro, grinder, hoagie, etc. Maybe you just hadn’t seen that spelling before
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sub (in the sandwich sense) referred to as a hero in the UK. If I’m reading that right. But then we generally don’t use sub for sandwiches either. Thanks for the explanation

I’ve never heard of Sub meaning hero. I think I just got lucky guesses on the rest after yellow

What do you call it in the UK?
Unless you go to a Subway (which we’d just call the stuff a subway) we’d probably use the term roll or baguette actually.
