Pointed up trap set in identical puzzles (7)
I believe the answer is:
enigmas
'pointed up trap set in identical puzzles' is the definition.
I know that 'puzzles' relates to this answer.
'up trap set in identical puzzles' is the wordplay.
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'trap' becomes 'gin' (gin trap is a kind of animal trap).
'set in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'identical puzzles' becomes 'same' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gin' going into 'same' is 'samgine'.
'samgine' backwards is 'ENIGMAS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
