Articles this paper reports as letters? (5)
I believe the answer is:
items
'articles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'paper reports as letters?' is the wordplay.
'paper reports as' becomes 'it' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'letters?' becomes 'ems' (I've seen this in another clue).
'it'+'ems'='ITEMS'
'this' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for items that I've seen before include "partners" , "Times (anag.)" , "Agenda points" , "Individuals units" , "separate parts of news bulletin" .)
