Criminal resorted to the obvious way out? (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
street door
'obvious way out?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'criminal resorted to' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'resorted'+'to'='resortedto'
'resortedto' anagrammed gives 'STREET-DOOR'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
