Little time at the moment for insignificant player (6)
I believe the answer is:
minnow
'insignificant player' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'little time at the moment' is the wordplay.
'little time' becomes 'min' (I am not sure about the 'little' bit.**).
'at the moment' becomes 'now' (I've seen this before).
'min'+'now'='MINNOW'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minnow that I've seen before include "Very small freshwater fish of the carp family" , "he's unimportant" , "Small person" , "Fish; underdog" , "A fish; insignificant person" .)
