Torches for bullies (7)
I believe the answer is:
hectors
'bullies' is the definition.
('hector' can be a synonym of 'bully')
'torches' is the wordplay.
'torches' can be anagrammed to 'HECTORS'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
