Solid figures that could be tidier with a corset – ah! (15)
I believe the answer is:
icositetrahedra
'solid figures' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'could be tidier with a corset ah' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'tidier'+'a'+'corset'+'ah'='tidieracorsetah'
'tidieracorsetah' anagrammed gives 'ICOSITETRAHEDRA'.
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
