Dope dealer in seconds confessed in AE (7)
I believe the answer is:
assange
'dope dealer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'seconds confessed in ae' is the wordplay.
'seconds' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'confessed' becomes 'sang' (to sing can informally mean to confess).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
's'+'sang'='ssang'
'ssang' placed within 'ae' is 'ASSANGE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assange that I've seen before include "WikiLeaks founder" , "[WHISTLE BLOWER]" , "Embassy guest" .)
