I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sort of angle?' is the definition.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obtuse that I've seen before include "Slow-witted; type of angle" , "Mentally slow - kind of angle" , "Lacking in insight" , "Blunt, dull-witted" , "(Of angle) between 90deg and 180deg - dull" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
