Youngster takes Japanese cash and secures tiles (6)
I believe the answer is:
grouts
'secures tiles' is the definition.
'grouts' can be an answer for 'secures' (grouting is a kind of securing). I'm not certain of the 'tiles' bit.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for grouts that I've seen is " Digs up".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
