A hopeless search for shoelace I saw dog whirling (1,4-5,5)
I believe the answer is:
a wild-goose chase
'a hopeless search for shoelace i saw dog whirling' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a hopeless search for shoelace i saw dog whirling' is the wordplay.
'shoelace i saw dog' can be anagrammed to 'A WILD-GOOSE CHASE'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
