Punch landed: so able to be seen by an old nurse? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lamplit
'able to be seen by an old nurse?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'punch landed' is the wordplay.
'punch' becomes 'lamp' (I've seen this before).
'landed' becomes 'lit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'lamp'+'lit'='LAMPLIT'
'so' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
