Some sites for development apparently (2,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
so it seems
'some sites for development apparently' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'some sites for development apparently' is the wordplay.
'some' says to take the initial letters.
'for development' becomes 'o' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'apparently' becomes 'itseems' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'sites' is 's'.
's'+'o'+'itseems'='SO IT SEEMS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
