City upcoming writer cripples? (5)
I believe the answer is:
miami
'city' is the definition.
(Miami is an example)
'upcoming writer cripples?' is the wordplay.
'upcoming' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'writer' becomes 'I' (the person who is writing these clues).
'cripples?' becomes 'maim' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'i'+'maim'='imaim'
'imaim' in reverse letter order is 'MIAMI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miami that I've seen before include "Port in Florida" , "Prejudice in favour of one person or thing" , "state" , "I put out of action when returning" , "Popular city in SE Florida" .)
