Sympathised with an officer taken in by a dodgy offer
But I've got no explanation for this one! Could you help me understand?
'sympathised with an' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'officer taken in by a dodgy offer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'officer' could be 'lt' (abbreviation for lieutenant) and 'lt' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'offer' is 'fefor' which is present in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
