The smallest space for pikes to swim (7)
I believe the answer is:
pokiest
'the smallest space for pikes to swim' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'pikes to swim' is the wordplay.
'swim' is an anagram indicator.
'pikes'+'to'='pikesto'
'pikesto' anagrammed gives 'POKIEST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
