Salvo possible but not rounds (5)
I believe the answer is:
ovals
'not rounds' is the definition.
(ovals are not perfectly round or circular)
'salvo possible' is the wordplay.
'salvo' can be anagrammed to 'OVALS'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'but' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ovals that I've seen is " Elliptical shapes".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
