Attending the smallest, whatever happens (2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
at the least
'whatever happens' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'attending the smallest' is the wordplay.
'attending' becomes 'at' (I've seen this in other clues).
'smallest' becomes 'least' (synonyms).
'at'+'the'+'least'='AT THE LEAST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for at the least that I've seen is " come what may".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
