Lie when teacher unexpectedly discovers firework (9-5)
I believe the answer is:
catherine-wheel
'firework' is the definition.
(Catherine wheel is an example)
'lie when teacher unexpectedly' is the wordplay.
'unexpectedly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lie'+'when'+'teacher'='liewhenteacher'
'liewhenteacher' with letters rearranged gives 'CATHERINE-WHEEL'.
'discovers' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
