Show criminal in the cooler (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
air-con
'the cooler' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'show criminal' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'show' could be 'air' (both can mean broadcast) and 'air' is present in the answer.
'criminal' could be 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict') and 'con' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
