Something nice to say as a benevolent assurance? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
kind word
'something nice to say' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'a benevolent assurance?' is the wordplay.
'a benevolent' becomes 'kind' (I've seen this before).
'assurance?' becomes 'word' (I've seen this in another clue).
'kind'+'word'='KIND WORD'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
