Takes the part of Feste, maybe (4,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
acts the fool
'takes' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'part of feste maybe' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'part' could be 'act' (I have seen 'Part of play ' mean 'act' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'act') and 'act' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
