Possibly the bankers or philanderers produce them (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
broken hearts
'philanderers produce them' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'possibly the bankers or' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'bankers'+'or'='thebankersor'
'thebankersor' with letters rearranged gives 'BROKEN HEARTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
