Different responses if mail gives wrong idea (5,10)
I believe the answer is:
false impression
'wrong idea' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'different responses if mail' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator (letters placed in a different order).
'responses'+'if'+'mail'='responsesifmail'
'responsesifmail' is an anagram of 'FALSE IMPRESSION'.
'gives' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
