He'll make 150 if given a fresh start! (5)
I believe the answer is:
cliff
'he'll' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'150 if given a fresh start' is the wordplay.
'150' becomes 'CL' (roman numerals).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'start' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'fresh' is 'f'.
'cl'+'if'+'f'='CLIFF'
'make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cliff that I've seen before include "Steep high rockface" , "Sir - - Richard" , "stony face?" , "A sheer rock face, in mountain or by sea" , "Precipice" .)
