How Al and Ted got together and did business (5)
I believe the answer is:
dealt
'together and did business' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'how al and ted' is the wordplay.
'how' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'al' put after 'ted' is 'tedal'.
'tedal' is an anagram of 'DEALT'.
'got' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dealt that I've seen before include "Carried out business" , "Dispensed (cards)" , "Traded" , "Delta (anag.)" , "Distributed playing cards" .)
