The term 'caught with a rope' can be summarized by two crossword solutions: LASSOED (7 letters) and SNARED (6 letters). Lassoing is a technique used by cowboys to capture animals, usually horses, by throwing a looped rope around them. Snaring is a similar technique, but instead of a looped rope, a noose is used to catch animals. Both techniques are used to capture animals, but lassoing is more commonly used for horses while snaring is used for smaller animals such as rabbits.
