Could lad be creating a cutter? (5)
I believe the answer is:
blade
'a cutter?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'could lad be' is the wordplay.
'lad be' anagrams to 'BLADE'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'creating' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blade that I've seen before include "A knife, or a dashing fellow" , "Sword" , "Leaf, of grass, say" , "Flat part of an oar" , "Young chap, dashing" .)
