Lame fox managed with reduced prey perhaps (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
for example
'perhaps' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'lame fox managed with reduced prey' is the wordplay.
'managed with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'prey' with its last letter removed is 'pre'.
'lame'+'fox'='lamefox'
'lamefox' with its letters anagrammed with 'pre' gives 'FOR EXAMPLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for for example that I've seen before include "Say" , "Speed" , "By way of illustration" .)
