Way a woman splits stake in newspaper (10)
I believe the answer is:
broadsheet
'newspaper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'way a woman splits stake in' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'road' (road is a kind of way).
'a woman splits' becomes 'she' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'stake' becomes 'bet' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'road'+'she'='roadshe'
'roadshe' inserted into 'bet' is 'BROADSHEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for broadsheet that I've seen before include "put to bed?" , "Something big that gets blanket coverage" , "Paper that can cover large issue" , "Large-format newspaper" , "'Serious' newspaper" .)
