Did Edgar write as a mural expert? (7)
I believe the answer is:
wallace
'did edgar write' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a mural expert?' is the wordplay.
'a mural' becomes 'wall' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'expert?' becomes 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good).
'wall'+'ace'='WALLACE'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wallace that I've seen before include "Scottish champion" , "Edgar ---, crime writer; an art Collection" , "Edgar -, English thriller writer" , "15 [AMERICAN] vice-president" , ".Robbie Burns poem 'Scots, wha hae wi' ...... bled'" .)
