Sucker I see with low debt in need of doing (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
boiled sweet
'sucker' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'i see with low debt in need of doing' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'in need of doing' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'see'+'low'+'debt'='iseelowdebt'
'iseelowdebt' anagrammed gives 'BOILED SWEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
