Failing to understand reason for bluntness? (7,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
missing the point
'understand reason for bluntness?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'failing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'failing' could be 'missing' (missing is a kind of failing) and 'missing' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
