That man consumed by potential wealth in Moby Dick? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
the whale
'moby dick?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'that man consumed by potential wealth' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'man' could be 'hale' and 'hale' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'thew' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
