Assistants give a portion of food to the workers (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
helping hands
'assistants' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'give a portion of food to the workers' is the wordplay.
'give' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a portion of food' becomes 'helping' (I've seen this before).
'to the workers' becomes 'hands' (hand is a kind of worker).
'helping' next to 'hands' is 'HELPING HANDS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
