IT code can assist access in seconds, I iterated (5)
I believe the answer is:
ascii
'it code can assist access' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'seconds i iterated' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'seconds' could be 's' and 's' is present in the answer.
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cii' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ascii that I've seen is " Computers use this code".)
