Lower wheel about uniform weight (5)
I believe the answer is:
bluer
'lower' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'wheel about uniform weight' is the wordplay.
'wheel' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'wheeled' mean this (letters are wheeled back)).
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'weight' becomes 'lb' (lb is a kind of weight).
're'+'u'+'lb'='reulb'
'reulb' backwards is 'BLUER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bluer that I've seen before include "getting more down" , "Less cloudy (sky)" , "More racy" , "individual who squanders?" , "more despondent" .)
