Back row reach down somehow (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
crown-head
'back row' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'reach down somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'reach'+'down'='reachdown'
'reachdown' anagrammed gives 'CROWN-HEAD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
