Just the chap to make hay? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ted
'make hay?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'just the chap' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'chap' could be 'ed' (short for Edward) and 'ed' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ted that I've seen before include "Comic TV Father" , "Spread (hay); yob" , ". . . Kennedy, Father . . ." , "Comic TV priest by the late Dermot Morgan" , "Edward (dim.)" .)
