Stick with end of twisted line coming through? (6)
I believe the answer is:
candle
'stick with end of twisted line coming through?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'stick with end of twisted line coming through?' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'cane' (cane is a kind of stick).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'coming through?' is an insertion indicator.
The final letter of 'twisted' is 'd'.
'cane' going around 'd' is 'cande'.
'cande' going around 'l' is 'CANDLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for candle that I've seen before include "Wax or tallow light" , "See 8" , "Lanced (anag)" , "Wax light source" , "may be too expensive for game" .)
