Untruth gets hero, we hear, to keep still (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
lie idle
'untruth gets hero we hear to keep still' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'untruth gets hero we hear to keep still' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'untruth' could be 'lie' (lie is a kind of untruth) and 'lie' is located in the answer.
'still' could be 'idle' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'idle' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
