Former Poet Laureate associated with Christmas pudding? (5)
I believe the answer is:
duffy
'former poet laureate associated with christmas' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'pudding?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'pudding?' could be 'duff' (duff is a kind of pudding) and 'duff' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
