The term 'TYPE OF TRAP' can be solved by two crossword solutions: STEEL (5 letters) and SAND (4 letters). A STEEL trap is a type of trap that uses a spring-loaded metal jaw to capture animals. It is often used for hunting or pest control. SAND traps are used in golf courses to catch golf balls that have been hit off course. They are usually filled with SAND and have a lip around the edge to prevent the ball from rolling out.
