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 tell whether this defines the answer.
'things at headquarters?' is the wordplay.
'things' becomes 'ly' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'headquarters?' becomes 'base' (I've seen this in another clue).
'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?
