Poser for the card player? (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
tricky problem
'card player?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'poser for the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'poser' could be 'problem' (I've seen this before) and 'problem' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ricky' is a valid word 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 Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
