Celebrities breaking German rule? Not entirely true-to-life (9)
I believe the answer is:
realistic
'true-to-life' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'celebrities breaking german rule? not entirely' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'celebrities' could be 'alist' (A-list) and 'alist' is found in the answer.
'rule?' could be 'r' (legal abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for realistic that I've seen before include "Without illusions, dealing in facts" , "accurate picture" , "Pragmatic" , "It is clear (anag)" , "Practicable" .)
