I over-egg misguided allusion to extravagant royal (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
george iv
'allusion to extravagant royal' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'i over-egg misguided' is the wordplay.
'misguided' indicates anagramming the letters (letters guided into the wrong places).
'i'+'over'+'egg'='ioveregg'
'ioveregg' with letters rearranged gives 'GEORGE IV'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
