One in Mexico close to General Eisenhower? Not that close (7)
I believe the answer is:
unalike
'one in mexico close to general eisenhower? not that close' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'one in mexico close to general eisenhower?' is the wordplay.
'one in mexico' becomes 'una' (I've seen this in another clue).
'close to' says to take the final letters (the 'close' to the word).
'eisenhower?' becomes 'Ike' (Ike was a nickname of President Dwight Eisenhower).
The final letter of 'general' is 'l'.
'una'+'l'+'ike'='UNALIKE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unalike that I've seen before include "Dissimilar" , "different" , "poor match" , "Not similar to one another" , "Incompatible" .)
