Simple-minded, not like our solvers! (8)
I believe the answer is:
clueless
'our solvers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'simple-minded not' is the wordplay.
'simple-minded' becomes 'clue' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'not' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in other clues).
'clue'+'less'='CLUELESS'
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clueless that I've seen before include "not like our solvers!" , "Ignorant; helpless" , "how I started this puzzle!" , "With no idea" , "Lacking in ideas" .)
