Waiting in a state of suspense? (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
hanging on
'waiting' is the definition.
(hanging on is a kind of waiting)
'in a state of suspense?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hanging on that I've seen is " Waiting to see".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
