Kid over to watch part of p___? (3,2,1,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
put on a long face
'p?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'kid over to watch part' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'kid' could be 'puton' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'puton' is present in the answer.
'over' could be 'along' (I've seen this before) and 'along' is present in the answer.
'part' could be 'face' (face is a kind of part) and 'face' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
