Playwright confident in speech? (4)
I believe the answer is:
shaw
'playwright' is the definition.
(George Bernard Shaw)
'confident in speech?' is the wordplay.
'confident' becomes 'h' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'speech?' becomes 'saw' (saw is a kind of speech).
'h' put into 'saw' is 'SHAW'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shaw that I've seen before include "Playwright; small wood" , "G. B. ---; T. E. ---" , "Irish playwright, d. 1950" , "writer of plays and critical commentaries" , "Irish author" .)
