Upset ever wiser critics (9)
I believe the answer is:
reviewers
'critics' is the definition.
(reviewer is a kind of critic)
'upset ever wiser' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'ever'+'wiser'='everwiser'
'everwiser' is an anagram of 'REVIEWERS'.
(Another definition for reviewers that I've seen is " critics".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
