Holding a high card Dad can solve all problems (7)
I believe the answer is:
panacea
'solve all problems' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'holding a high card dad' is the wordplay.
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'high card' becomes 'ace' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dad' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'an'+'ace'='anace'
'anace' placed into 'pa' is 'PANACEA'.
'can' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for panacea that I've seen before include "that's going to help a lot" , "Universal medicine" , "A soldier in the World War One Aus. and NZ Army Corps" , "that can make anything better" , "fixes all complaints" .)
