Therewith a powdered chalk for example (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
white earth
'powdered chalk for example' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'therewith a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'therewith' is 'whiteerth' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
