He slants positions below (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
less than
'below' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'he slants positions' is the wordplay.
'he slants' can be anagrammed to 'LESS THAN'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
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?
