Soon relieved with riddles worked out? Their successes aren't remembered (3,8,5,3)
I believe the answer is:
old soldiers never die
'soon relieved with riddles worked out? their successes aren't remembered' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'soon relieved with riddles worked out?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'worked out?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'worked out' mean this).
'soon'+'relieved'+'riddles'='soonrelievedriddles'
'soonrelievedriddles' is an anagram of 'OLD SOLDIERS NEVER DIE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
