What rate fixers do? (3,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
set the pace
'fixers do?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'what rate' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'setthe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rate' becomes 'pace' (pace is a kind of rate).
'setthe'+'pace'='SET THE PACE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
