Write to male exposed as love cheat (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
two-timer
'cheat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'write to male exposed as love' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'male' could be 'm' (common abbreviation) and 'm' is located in the answer.
'love' could be 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero') and 'o' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'write' is 'wtier' which is within the left over letters.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for two-timer that I've seen before include "Double-crosser" , "Deceiver" , "Unfaithful lover in arithmetic mode" , "One sleeps around" , "Unfaithful partner" .)
