Horrible person admitting prince is a nerd (4)
I believe the answer is:
spod
'horrible person admitting' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'prince is a nerd' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'prince' could be 'p' (abbreviation) and 'p' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'sod' is a valid word 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 Guardian.
