Get in to obtain a confession (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
gain admission
'get in' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'obtain a confession' is the wordplay.
'obtain' becomes 'gain' (gaining is a kind of obtaining).
'a confession' becomes 'admission' (I've seen this before).
'gain'+'admission'='GAIN ADMISSION'
'to' is the link.
(Another definition for gain admission that I've seen is " Get in".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
