Maybe Guardian compiler welcomed by Lady Gaga (5)
I believe the answer is:
daily
'maybe guardian' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'compiler welcomed by lady gaga' is the wordplay.
'compiler' becomes 'I' (the person who is writing these clues).
'welcomed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (letters welcomed inside).
'gaga' is an anagram indicator.
'lady' with letters rearranged gives 'daly'.
'i' put inside 'daly' is 'DAILY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for daily that I've seen before include "Char" , "regularly" , "Help" , "A rag, perhaps" , "often" .)
