What leads Veronica into temptation? Affection, ironically (5)
I believe the answer is:
lurve
'affection ironically' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'what leads veronica into temptation?' is the wordplay.
'what leads' says to take the initial letters.
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'temptation?' becomes 'lure' (lure is a kind of temptation).
The initial letter of 'veronica' is 'v'.
'v' inserted inside 'lure' is 'LURVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lurve that I've seen is " Yuck".)
