Very popular game at school and in the garden (3,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
red-hot pokers
'in the garden' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'very popular game at school' is the wordplay.
'very popular' becomes 'redhot' (I've seen this before).
'game' becomes 'poker' (poker is a kind of game**).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'school' becomes 's'.
'redhot'+'poker'+'s'='RED-HOT POKERS'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
