Roughly nine letters Matt is sending to Coventry (6,9)
I believe the answer is:
silent treatment
'sending to coventry' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'roughly nine letters matt' is the wordplay.
'roughly' is an anagram indicator.
'nine'+'letters'+'matt'='ninelettersmatt'
'ninelettersmatt' is an anagram of 'SILENT TREATMENT'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
