Deliveries cancelled before holidays (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
off breaks
'deliveries' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'cancelled before holidays' is the wordplay.
'cancelled' becomes 'off' (similar in meaning).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'holidays' becomes 'breaks' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'off'+'breaks'='OFF-BREAKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
