Nerd or nut with niche joke, possibly (12)
I believe the answer is:
technojunkie
'nerd' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'nut with niche joke possibly' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'niche'+'joke'='nichejoke'
'nut' after 'nichejoke' is 'nichejokenut'.
'nichejokenut' with letters rearranged gives 'TECHNOJUNKIE'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
