In Review, quickly scrutinise for graduate getting to grips with lost yearbooks? (8)
I believe the answer is:
almanacs
'yearbooks?' is the definition.
(almanac is a kind of yearbook)
'in review quickly scrutinise for graduate getting to grips with lost' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'graduate' could be 'ma' (abbreviation for Master of Arts) and 'ma' is found within the answer.
'lost' could be 'l' (abbreviation in sporting league tables) and 'l' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for almanacs that I've seen before include "Annual calendars" , "Publications like Old Moore's" .)
