Information about tip-top little creatures? (5)
I believe the answer is:
newts
'little creatures?' is the definition.
'newts' can be an answer for 'creatures?' (newt is a kind of creature). I'm unsure of the 'little' bit.
'information about tip-top' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'news' (news is a kind of information**).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tip-top' becomes 't' (top of the word 'tip-').
'news' going around 't' is 'NEWTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for newts that I've seen before include "Small amphibians, efts" , "Kind of water lizards or efts" , "creatures" .)
