First sucker caught in silly one’s distortions (6)
I believe the answer is:
twists
'first sucker caught in silly one's distortions' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'first sucker caught in silly one's distortions' is the wordplay.
'first sucker' becomes 's' (sst letter of 'sucker').
'caught in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'silly one' becomes 'twit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'distortions' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
's' going inside 'twit' is 'twist'.
'twist'+'s'='TWISTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twists that I've seen before include "Interweaves or gives spiral form to" , "Bends and turns out of shape" , "Dances and turns as Chubby Checker used to" , "Dances as Chubby Checkers used to" , "Forms into a spiral shape" .)
