Earned bucks (around grand) with fewer clothes on! (7)
I believe the answer is:
nakeder
'fewer clothes on' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'earned bucks around grand' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'grand' could be 'k' (both can mean a thousand pounds or dollars) and 'k' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'earned' is 'naeder' which is present in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for nakeder that I've seen is " wearing fewer clothes".)
