Swimmers ignoring the youngest’s higher priorities (5,4,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
other fish to fry
'youngest's higher priorities' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'swimmers ignoring the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'swimmers' could be 'fish' and 'fish' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
