Singles out what's no good in stir-fries? (7)
I believe the answer is:
fingers
'singles out' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'no good in stir-fries?' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'stir' is an anagram indicator.
'n'+'g'='ng'
'fries' with letters rearranged gives 'fiers'.
'ng' going into 'fiers' is 'FINGERS'.
'what's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for fingers that I've seen is " Digits".)
