In a thin layer suitable for star-gazers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
filmy
'in a thin layer suitable' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'star-gazers?' is the wordplay.
'star' becomes 'film star' (film star is a kind of star).
'gazers?' becomes 'y' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'film'+'y'='FILMY'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for filmy that I've seen is " Clouded".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
