Organised beach swim around Rhode Island is avoiding Providence (11)
I believe the answer is:
micawberish
'avoiding providence' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'organised beach swim around rhode island' is the wordplay.
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'rhode island' becomes 'RI' (US postal abbreviation).
'beach'+'swim'='beachswim'
'beachswim' anagrammed gives 'micawbesh'.
'micawbesh' going around 'ri' is 'MICAWBERISH'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
