Tool for putting a telephone line in? (6)
I believe the answer is:
trowel
'tool for' is the definition.
'trowel' can be an answer for 'tool' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'for' bit.
'a telephone line in?' is the wordplay.
'a telephone' becomes 'tel' (short for telephone).
'line' becomes 'row' (a row or line of things).
'in?' is an insertion indicator.
'tel' placed around 'row' is 'TROWEL'.
'putting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trowel that I've seen before include "Fabled place of great wealth" , "Small spade" , "Spreading implement" , "This makes plaster spread" , "Brickie holds it" .)
