Rather dull middle of June at home — I got shut in well (11)
I believe the answer is:
uninspiring
'rather dull middle' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'june at home i got shut in well' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'home' could be 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in') and 'in' is located in the answer.
'i' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uninspiring that I've seen before include "Not exciting or interesting" , "Not exciting, dull" , "Humdrum" .)
