Capture - but not while the sun is shining? (4,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
take by storm
'shining?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'capture but not while the sun' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'capture' could be 'take' (I've seen this before) and 'take' is present in the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'sun' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for take by storm that I've seen before include "Violently capture" , "Captivate totally and instantly" .)
