Awkward situation of paper covering yearly meeting (8)
I believe the answer is:
quagmire
'awkward situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'paper covering yearly meeting' is the wordplay.
'paper' becomes 'quire' (quantity of paper - g5 or g4 sheets).
'covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'yearly meeting' becomes 'agm' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'yearly' bit.).
'quire' placed around 'agm' is 'QUAGMIRE'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for quagmire that I've seen before include "Swampy marsh" , "You can get bogged down in this" , "difficult situation" , "Wet bog" , "Morass" .)
