Lists featuring no flipping toiletries (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
roll-ons
'toiletries' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'lists featuring no flipping' is the wordplay.
'lists' becomes 'rolls' (roll is a kind of list**).
'featuring' indicates putting letters inside.
'flipping' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'no' backwards is 'on'.
'rolls' placed around 'on' is 'ROLL-ONS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
