Chapter on Shakespearean king and queen is more coherent (7)
I believe the answer is:
clearer
'more coherent' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'chapter on shakespearean king and queen' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c'.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shakespearean king' becomes 'lear' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'c'+'lear'+'er'='CLEARER'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clearer that I've seen before include "More transparent" , "Less clouded, more well-defined" , "More plain" , "Bank" , "less misty" .)
