Possibly said to hold the key to inventiveness? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ideas
'to inventiveness?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'possibly said to hold the key' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'to hold' indicates putting letters inside.
'the key' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'said' anagrammed gives 'idas'.
'idas' placed around 'e' is 'IDEAS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ideas that I've seen before include "Brainwaves" , "Thoughts, perceptions" , "Thoughts, maybe creative" , "plans" , "Notions, thoughts" .)
