Individual is depressed, having only a single piece completed (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
one down
'only a single piece completed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'individual is depressed' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'is depressed' becomes 'down' (synonyms).
'one'+'down'='ONE DOWN'
'having' acts as a link.
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?
