What might raise temperature at garden party? Chatter and spirit! (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
gas bottle
'what might raise temperature at garden party?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'chatter and spirit' is the wordplay.
'chatter' becomes 'gas' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'spirit' becomes 'bottle' (I have seen 'The spirit' mean 'bottle' so perhaps 'spirit' could also mean 'bottle').
'gas'+'bottle'='GAS-BOTTLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
