Maximum pay of a potter (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
top rate
'maximum pay' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'of a potter' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'a'+'potter'='apotter'
'apotter' anagrammed gives 'TOP RATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
