Poem by Eliot, playwright (5)
I believe the answer is:
odets
'playwright' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'poem by eliot' is the wordplay.
'poem' becomes 'ode' (ode is a type of poem).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'eliot' becomes 'ts' (poet TS Eliot).
'ode'+'ts'='ODETS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
