Tail a pig is allowed when young (3)
I believe the answer is:
let
'tail' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for let that I've seen before include "Allow or rent" , "Umpire's decision" , "Allow; leased" , "Permit or rent" , "Allow; tennis fault" .)
