Like some chips? Nick most of cutlery that's free (7-3)
I believe the answer is:
crinkle-cut
'like some chips?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'nick most of cutlery that's free' is the wordplay.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'that's free' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cutlery' with its final letter taken off is 'cutler'.
'nick'+'cutler'='nickcutler'
'nickcutler' with letters rearranged gives 'CRINKLE-CUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
