Pointer towards odd bits of culture (4)
I believe the answer is:
clue
'pointer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'odd bits of culture' is the wordplay.
'odd bits of' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternating letters of 'culture' are 'CLUE'.
'towards' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
