Snappy new title for old BR? (7)
I believe the answer is:
brittle
'snappy' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'new title for old br?' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'old br?' becomes 'br' (I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'title' with letters rearranged gives 'ittle'.
'ittle' put after 'br' is 'BRITTLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brittle that I've seen before include "Easy to break" , "Liable to snap" , "Easily cracked or snapped" , "Hard but easily broken" , "Fragile" .)
