File that rodent wags! (8)
I believe the answer is:
ratstail
'file' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'rodent wags' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'rodent' could be 'rat' (rat is a kind of rodent) and 'rat' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that' 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?
