Low-down way of doing things at headquarters? (6)
I believe the answer is:
basely
'low-down way of doing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'things at headquarters?' is the wordplay.
'things' becomes 'ly' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'headquarters?' becomes 'base' (I've seen this before).
'ly' after 'base' is 'BASELY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
