Maximum measure of digital protection? (10)
I believe the answer is:
thimbleful
'maximum measure' is the definition.
'thimbleful' can be an answer for 'measure' (thimbleful is a kind of measure). I'm not sure about the 'maximum' bit.
'digital protection?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'protection?' could be 'thimble' (thimble is a kind of protection) and 'thimble' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ful' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
