Public Relations resented alteration for claimants (10)
I believe the answer is:
pretenders
'claimants' is the definition.
(I know this)
'public relations resented alteration' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'relations' could be 'tenders' (tender is a kind of relation) and 'tenders' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pre' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
