At all his ten late shifts ... (2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
in the least
'at all' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'his ten late shifts' is the wordplay.
'shifts' indicates anagramming the letters.
'his'+'ten'+'late'='histenlate'
'histenlate' with letters rearranged gives 'IN THE LEAST'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
