Player who, to resolve a pay dispute, made the issue vanish? (3,4,5,2,7)
I believe the answer is:
the pied piper of hamelin
'vanish?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'player who to resolve a pay dispute made the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'player' could be 'piper' (piper is a kind of player) and 'piper' is found in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'issue' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for the pied piper of hamelin that I've seen is " one who led youths astray".)
