Bloomers made by stupid sheep trapped by the tide on the rise (11)
I believe the answer is:
amaryllises
'bloomers made' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'stupid sheep trapped by the tide on the rise' is the wordplay.
'stupid' becomes 'silly' (I've seen this before).
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
'trapped by' indicates putting letters inside.
'the tide' becomes 'sea' (I've seen this before).
'on the rise' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'silly'+'ram'='sillyram'
'sillyram' going within 'sea' is 'sesillyrama'.
'sesillyrama' in reverse letter order is 'AMARYLLISES'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
