Maybe fire Les and get others to take over (7)
I believe the answer is:
reliefs
'get others to take over' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'maybe fire les' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'fire'+'les'='fireles'
'fireles' with letters rearranged gives 'RELIEFS'.
'and' is the link.
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?
