Allows mouthpiece to disclose secret (7)
I believe the answer is:
letslip
'disclose secret' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'allows mouthpiece' is the wordplay.
'allows' becomes 'lets' ('let' can be a synonym of 'allow').
'mouthpiece' becomes 'lip' (part of the mouth).
'lets'+'lip'='LETSLIP'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
