Rum clue, it's rewritten for network (9)
I believe the answer is:
reticulum
'network' is the definition.
(I know that reticulum is a type of network)
'rum clue it's rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rum'+'clue'+'it'='rumclueit'
'rumclueit' is an anagram of 'RETICULUM'.
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for reticulum that I've seen is " network".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
