Those paid at last the best way possible? (5)
I believe the answer is:
debts
'those paid' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'at last the best way possible?' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'last' suggests the final letters.
'way' becomes 's' (Compass direction - South).
'possible?' becomes 'deb' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The last letter of 'best' is 't'.
't'+'s'='ts'
'ts' put after 'deb' is 'DEBTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debts that I've seen before include "Financial obligations" , "Monies owed" , "Moneys owed" , "Outstanding sums" , "They're owed" .)
