After messy kiss, run to find snowy incline (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
ski slope
'snowy incline' is the definition.
'ski slope' can be an answer for 'incline' (a ski slope is a slope or incline). I'm not certain of the 'snowy' bit.
'after messy kiss run' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'messy' indicates an anagram.
'run' becomes 'lope' (lope is a kind of run).
'kiss' is an anagram of 'skis'.
'skis' next to 'lope' is 'SKI-SLOPE'.
'to find' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ski slope that I've seen before include "Piste" , "smooth run" , "downhill" , "sports venue" .)
