Wry and artfully witty about a bit of sex (6)
I believe the answer is:
twisty
'wry' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'artfully witty about a bit of sex' is the wordplay.
'artfully' indicates an anagram (a devious or artful form of the letters).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'sex' is 's'.
'witty' is an anagram of 'twity'.
'twity' going around 's' is 'TWISTY'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twisty that I've seen before include "requiring one to take turns" , "Convoluted" , "Sinuous" , "Windy" , "Bendy, curly" .)
