Slight possibility of opportunity to be away? (9)
I believe the answer is:
offchance
'slight possibility' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'opportunity to be away?' is the wordplay.
'opportunity' becomes 'chance' (synonyms).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'be away?' becomes 'off' (I've seen this in another clue).
'chance' after 'off' is 'OFFCHANCE'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
