Pictures showing a mode of operating traps (6)
I believe the answer is:
monets
'pictures showing a mode' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'of operating traps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'traps' could be 'nets' (net is a kind of trap) and 'nets' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
