No one has birth as complicated as he imagined! (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
heath robinson
'imagined' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'no one has birth as complicated as he' is the wordplay.
'no one has birth' anagrams to 'HEATH ROBINSON'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
