I’d fail – ice melted from building (9)
I believe the answer is:
edificial
'building' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'i'd fail ice melted' is the wordplay.
'melted' indicates an anagram.
'id'+'fail'+'ice'='idfailice'
'idfailice' with letters rearranged gives 'EDIFICIAL'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
