Shipshape on the water in a port with no rocks presumably? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
neat drink
'a port with no rocks presumably?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'shipshape on the water' is the wordplay.
'shipshape' becomes 'neat' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the water' becomes 'drink' (I've seen this before).
'neat'+'drink'='NEAT DRINK'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
