Statesmen impress with interim reshuffles (5,9)
I believe the answer is:
prime ministers
'statesmen' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'impress with interim reshuffles' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'reshuffles' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'reshuffled' mean this).
'impress' put after 'interim' is 'interimimpress'.
'interimimpress' is an anagram of 'PRIME MINISTERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for prime ministers that I've seen is " top people".)
