Periodical printed in Bavaria and used in state exam (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
sunday paper
'periodical printed in bavaria and used' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'state exam' is the wordplay.
'state' becomes 'sunday' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'exam' becomes 'paper'.
'sunday'+'paper'='SUNDAY PAPER'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
