Can vague toil with the cryptic lead to this admission? (1,6,3,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
i havent got a clue
'this admission?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'can vague toil with the cryptic' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cryptic' is an anagram indicator (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'can'+'vague'+'toil'+'the'='canvaguetoilthe'
'canvaguetoilthe' with letters rearranged gives 'I HAVENT GOT A CLUE'.
'lead to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
