Spying some typo on script returned (6)
I believe the answer is:
snoopy
'spying some typo on script returned' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'some typo on script returned' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'ypoons' is hidden in the letters of 'typo on script'.
'ypoons' in reverse letter order is 'SNOOPY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snoopy that I've seen before include "Cartoon character" , "Cartoon beagle" , "Prying - cartoon dog" , "Prying, as in Peanuts" , "Charlie Brown's canine companion" .)
