The price of a suit (5)
'suit?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'the price of a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'price' could be 'charge' (I've seen this before) and 'charge' is located in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
'the price of a suit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'coss' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for costs that I've seen before include "Expenditure" , "Is priced at" , "is expensive" , "prices" , "Fees" .)
