One way to recover some silver? (7)
I believe the answer is:
replate
'one' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'way to recover some silver?' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'some' says to take the initial letters.
'silver?' becomes 'plate' (silver can mean dishes, crockery etc).
The first letter of 'recover' is 'r'.
'e' after 'r' is 're'.
're'+'plate'='REPLATE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
