Rulings without odds: "Teddy is cutest"! (6)
I believe the answer is:
edicts
'rulings' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'without odds teddy is cutest' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'teddy' could be 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ed' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Official orders or proclamations" , "'Decrees, fiats (6)'" , "'Decrees, orders (6)'" , "Commands" , "Official orders and decrees" .)
