Cold inside explosive that's warm for electronic device? (10)
I believe the answer is:
smartwatch
'electronic device?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'cold inside explosive that's warm' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'explosive' is an anagram indicator.
'thats'+'warm'='thatswarm'
'thatswarm' with letters rearranged gives 'smartwath'.
'c' placed within 'smartwath' is 'SMARTWATCH'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
