Cryptic lover after answers ultimately? (6)
I believe the answer is:
solver
'cryptic lover after answers ultimately?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'cryptic lover after answers ultimately?' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' indicates anagramming the letters (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ultimately?' says to take the final letters (I've seen 'ultimately' mean this).
The final letter of 'answers' is 's'.
'lover' with letters rearranged gives 'olver'.
'olver' after 's' is 'SOLVER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for solver that I've seen before include "You find" , "One finds the answer to a mystery" , "You're one, for instance" , "Private Eye" , "One succeeding with crossword" .)
