Can you credit eels getting into them? (6)
I believe the answer is:
creels
'can you credit eels' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'getting into them?' is the wordplay.
'getting' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'them?' becomes 'cels' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
're' inserted within 'cels' is 'CREELS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creels that I've seen before include "Wicker baskets to hold fish" , "Wicker baskets for fishermen" , "Fish-baskets" , "Fishermen use" .)
