Open acknowledgement of entry without charge (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
free admission
'entry without charge' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'open acknowledgement' is the wordplay.
'open' becomes 'free' (similar in meaning).
'acknowledgement' becomes 'admission' (admission is a kind of acknowledgement).
'free'+'admission'='FREE ADMISSION'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
