Flash risible leader? One's into that! (6)
I believe the answer is:
mooner
'that' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'flash risible leader? one's into' is the wordplay.
'flash' becomes 'mo' (both mean a very short period of time).
'leader?' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'leaders of' mean this).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
The initial letter of 'risible' is 'r'.
'mo'+'r'='mor'
'mor' placed around 'one' is 'MOONER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
