Analysing a win secured by gutsy inspiration (9)
I believe the answer is:
brainwave
'inspiration' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'analysing a win secured by gutsy' is the wordplay.
'analysing' indicates an anagram.
'secured by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'gutsy' becomes 'brave' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'win'='awin'
'awin' anagrammed gives 'inwa'.
'inwa' going inside 'brave' is 'BRAINWAVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brainwave that I've seen before include "Sudden bright idea" , "Good idea" , "Great idea" .)
