A ring, you say, and a charm (6)
I believe the answer is:
appeal
'a charm' is the definition.
(I know that charm can be written as appeal)
'a ring you say' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'ring' could be 'peal' (synonyms) and 'peal' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'p' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appeal that I've seen before include "Earnest or urgent request" , "Plea" , "Legal procedure" , "Charm; entreaty" , "Urgent or formal request for help" .)
