Stories constructed by Spiderman? (1,3,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
a web of lies
'spiderman?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'stories constructed by' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'stories' could be 'lies' (to tell stories can mean to lie) and 'lies' is located in the answer.
'by' could be 'of' and 'of' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
