Turn record in terrible rush - that stinks (7)
I believe the answer is:
sulphur
'turn record in terrible rush that stinks' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'turn record in terrible rush' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'turn' could be 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn) and 'u' is present in the answer.
'record' could be 'lp' (abbreviation for long play record) and 'lp' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'rush' is 'shur' which is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
