A rowdy group to tell the cards (7)
I believe the answer is:
ratpack
'a rowdy group' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'tell the cards' is the wordplay.
'tell' becomes 'rat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'the cards' becomes 'pack'.
'rat'+'pack'='RATPACK'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ratpack that I've seen is " Paparazzi as a group".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
