Whiskey and fish deliveries one on strike couldn’t touch (5)
I believe the answer is:
wides
'deliveries one on strike couldn't touch' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'whiskey and fish' is the wordplay.
'whiskey' becomes 'W' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fish' becomes 'ides' (ide is a type of fish).
'w'+'ides'='WIDES'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
