When exposed, Stormy Daniels makes these? (9)
I believe the answer is:
headlines
'these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'when exposed stormy daniels' is the wordplay.
'exposed' says to take the centre (the inside of the word is exposed).
'stormy' indicates anagramming the letters (stormy suggests disruption).
The central letters of 'when' are 'he'.
'daniels' with letters rearranged gives 'adlines'.
'he'+'adlines'='HEADLINES'
'makes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for headlines that I've seen before include "News stories" , "Captions of newspaper articles" , "Newspaper features" , "linked with furrowed brows?" , "is star performer" .)
