I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unaided by a sub by all accounts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'unaided by a' is the wordplay.
'unaided' becomes 'lone' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'lone' after 'a' is 'ALONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alone that I've seen before include "unique" , "Solo" , "without another" , "Without anybody or anything else" , "On one's own" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
