Said plunder shone poetically (5)
I believe the answer is:
rayed
'shone poetically' is the definition.
'rayed' can be an answer for 'shone' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'poetically' bit.
'said plunder' is the wordplay.
'said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'plunder' becomes 'raid' (I've seen this in another clue).
'raid' sounds like 'RAYED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rayed that I've seen is " Beaming".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
