Irregular verb relies on recall being identical? (10)
I believe the answer is:
reversible
'on recall being identical?' is the definition.
(in crosswordspeak, 'recall' can mean a 'reversal')
'irregular verb relies' is the wordplay.
'irregular' indicates anagramming the letters.
'verb'+'relies'='verbrelies'
'verbrelies' with letters rearranged gives 'REVERSIBLE'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
