One might be thrown in dryer (5)
I believe the answer is:
towel
'dryer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one might be thrown' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be' could be 'owe' (owing is a kind of being) and 'owe' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for towel that I've seen before include "Dryer" , "This could dry up" , "Bathroom cloth" , "Piece of absorbent cloth or paper for drying" , "Bathroom item" .)
