Rules for Xmas I’m developing (6)
I believe the answer is:
maxims
'rules' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'xmas i'm developing' is the wordplay.
'developing' indicates anagramming the letters (letters developed into a new form).
'xmas'+'im'='xmasim'
'xmasim' with letters rearranged gives 'MAXIMS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maxims that I've seen before include "gnomes" , "Axioms, precepts" , "General truths or rules of conduct" .)
