Unsuccessful fellow finally getting out more, it's suggested? (7)
I believe the answer is:
winless
'unsuccessful' is the definition.
(without wins)
'getting out more it's suggested?' is the wordplay.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'out more' becomes 'in less'.
'it's suggested?' becomes 'w' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'inless' after 'w' is 'WINLESS'.
'fellow finally' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
