Cry after second lottery (5)
I believe the answer is:
sweep
'lottery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cry after second' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'cry' could be 'weep' (synonyms) and 'weep' is found in the answer.
'second' could be 's' (common abbreviation) and 's' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweep that I've seen before include "long movement" , "Dust" , "Cricket shot" , "Brush clean" , "Clean (eg chimney)" .)
