There’s a number on her back (4)
I believe the answer is:
nola
'back' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'there's a number on her' is the wordplay.
'there's a number' becomes 'n' (n can represent any number).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'her' becomes 'ola' ().
'n'+'ola'='NOLA'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
