Totally how to enter answer for this clue and the one before (4,3,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
from top to bottom
'totally' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'to enter answer for this clue and the one before' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'for' is 'fro' which is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'how' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for from top to bottom that I've seen before include "Absolutely" , "unique as this grid entry?" , "As this answer will be written" , "throughout? - with 17d" .)
