Ready to meet Nelson at sea (2,4,6)
I believe the answer is:
on ones mettle
'ready' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'to meet nelson at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'meet'+'nelson'='tomeetnelson'
'tomeetnelson' is an anagram of 'ON ONES METTLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for on ones mettle that I've seen is " Challenged".)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
