Child's new sonnet adapted Sondheim number (4,2,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
send in the clowns
'sondheim number' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'child's new sonnet adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' is an anagram indicator.
'childs'+'new'+'sonnet'='childsnewsonnet'
'childsnewsonnet' with letters rearranged gives 'SEND IN THE CLOWNS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for send in the clowns that I've seen is " Sad song".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
