Open and happy face (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
up front
'open' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'happy face' is the wordplay.
'happy' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'face' becomes 'front' (synonyms).
'up'+'front'='UP-FRONT'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for up front that I've seen is " Honest - paid in advance".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
