See saint reject the almighty for missing pet (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
lost dog
'missing pet' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'see saint reject the almighty' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'saint' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'reject' says the letters should be written backwards.
'the almighty' becomes 'god' (synonyms).
'god' backwards is 'dog'.
'lo'+'st'+'dog'='LOST DOG'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
