Communiqu? coming from shambles on Midway, for example, looking back (7)
I believe the answer is:
message
'communiqu? coming' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'shambles on midway for example looking back' is the wordplay.
'shambles' becomes 'mess' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on midway' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'for example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'looking back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'eg' backwards is 'ge'.
'mess'+'a'+'ge'='MESSAGE'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for message that I've seen before include "Communication that is sent" , "meaning" , "The medium is the - (McLuhan)" , "Missive" , "Spoken or written communication" .)
