Lame fox managed with reduced prey perhaps (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
for example
'perhaps' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'lame fox managed with reduced prey' is the wordplay.
'managed with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'prey' with its last letter taken off is 'pre'.
'lame'+'fox'='lamefox'
'lamefox' mixed up with 'pre' makes 'FOR EXAMPLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for for example that I've seen before include "Say" , "Speed" , "By way of illustration" .)
