Tool that enables one to bridge the gap? (7)
I believe the answer is:
spanner
'tool that enables' is the definition.
'spanner' can be an answer for 'tool' (spanner is a kind of tool). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.
'one to bridge the gap?' is the wordplay.
'one to bridge' becomes 'span' (synonyms).
'the gap?' becomes 'ner' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'span'+'ner'='SPANNER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spanner that I've seen before include "Type of wrench" , "In the works, this tool is a headache" , "Hand tool to hold or twist" , "murder weapon" , "Tool for gripping and turning" .)
