Swear, getting awful job on Yorkshire river (6)
I believe the answer is:
objure
'swear' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'awful job on yorkshire river' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'yorkshire river' becomes 'ure' (River Ure).
'job' anagrammed gives 'obj'.
'obj'+'ure'='OBJURE'
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
