Turner of a blind eye (6)
I believe the answer is:
nelson
'turner of a blind eye' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'turner of a blind eye' is the wordplay.
'turner' becomes 'nels' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'a blind' becomes 'binge' (I've seen this before).
'eye' means to look at the middle letters (eye can mean the centre of something).
The middle letter of 'binge' is 'n'.
'nels'+'o'+'n'='NELSON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nelson that I've seen before include "Trafalgar victor" , "northern town" , "Victorious flag officer" , "Nile battle hero" , "Noted English admiral" .)
