Quite remarkable to go off home with a writer in the middle of the evening (9)
I believe the answer is:
phenomena
'quite remarkable to go off' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'home with a writer in the middle of the evening' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'home' could be 'h' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'h' is located in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'writer' could be 'pen' (something which writes) and 'pen' is present in the leftover letters.
'middle' could be 'm' (abbreviation for middle) and 'm' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'en' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
