How chaps correspond by telepathy? (8)
I believe the answer is:
mentally
'how' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'chaps correspond by telepathy?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'chaps' could be 'men' (chap means a man) and 'men' is found in the answer.
'correspond' could be 'tally' (synonyms) and 'tally' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mentally that I've seen before include "not physically" , "Intellectually" , "in the head" , "in their heads" , "Cerebrally" .)
