Pub limiting beer periodically affected interval (2-7)
I believe the answer is:
in-between
'pub limiting beer periodically affected interval' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'pub limiting beer periodically affected' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'inn' (an inn is a type of pub).
'limiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'periodically' indicates alternate letters (letters must be selected 'every so often').
'affected' becomes 'twee' (I've seen this before).
The alternating letters of 'beer' are 'be'.
'be'+'twee'='betwee'
'inn' placed around 'betwee' is 'IN-BETWEEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for in-between that I've seen is " Intermediate".)
