Is it possible that officer gets a lead on islander? (8)
I believe the answer is:
majorcan
'islander?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is it possible that officer gets a lead' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'officer' could be 'major' (type of military officer) and 'major' is present in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'c' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for majorcan that I've seen before include "Man from Palma" , "islander" .)
