With sleet swirling around, wife has right to be hot (7)
I believe the answer is:
swelter
'right to be hot' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'with sleet swirling around wife' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'swirling' is an anagram indicator (letters get swirled around).
'around wife' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'w'+'sleet'='wsleet'
'wsleet' is an anagram of 'swelte'.
'swelte'+'r'='SWELTER'
'has' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swelter that I've seen before include "Endure oppressive heat" , "Feel uncomfortably hot" , "Be too hot; Gormenghast chef" , "Overheat" , "Sweat and feel faint" .)
