Composer of musicals' heard by fuel carrier (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
coal porter
'composer of musicals' heard' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'by fuel carrier' is the wordplay.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fuel' becomes 'coal' (coal is a kind of fuel).
'carrier' becomes 'porter'.
'coal' next to 'porter' is 'COAL PORTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
