What hidden web pages say is true, according to writer (8)
I believe the answer is:
essayist
'to writer' is the definition.
(essayist is a kind of writer)
'what hidden web pages say is true according' is the wordplay.
'ESSAYIST' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for essayist that I've seen before include "Writer of short literary pieces" , "Lamb, for example" , "Writer such as Addison" , "The venturer" , "Writer of little prose pieces" .)
