Different hut for union gent having no possibility of winning (3,2,3,7)
I believe the answer is:
out of the running
'no possibility of winning' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'different hut for union gent' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'hut'+'for'+'union'+'gent'='hutforuniongent'
'hutforuniongent' with letters rearranged gives 'OUT OF THE RUNNING'.
'having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for out of the running that I've seen before include "no longer in control" , "Unable to use tracks" , "No longer in contention" , "No longer managing" , "excluded from the succession" .)
