What’s made early, to be nuked? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
ready meal
'nuked?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally define each other.
'what's made early to' is the wordplay.
'made early' anagrams to 'READY MEAL'.
However, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
