Look on folding table first then in the attic (4)
I believe the answer is:
loft
'then in the attic' is the definition.
'loft' can be an answer for 'attic' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'then in the' bit.
'look on folding table first' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'first' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'folding table' is 'ft'.
'lo'+'ft'='LOFT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loft that I've seen before include "Backward slope in face of golf club" , "Hit (a ball) high" , "Uppermost room" , "Attic" , "Room At The Top" .)
