Clued “bide” in new way that can be worked out? (9)
I believe the answer is:
deducible
'worked out?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can occasionally mean the same thing.
'clued bide in new way' is the wordplay.
'in new way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clued'+'bide'='cluedbide'
'cluedbide' with letters rearranged gives 'DEDUCIBLE'.
'that can be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for deducible that I've seen is " it's to be inferred".)
