Admitted a record holds information (12)
I believe the answer is:
acknowledged
'admitted' is the definition.
('acknowledge' can be a synonym of 'admit')
'a record holds information' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'information' could be 'knowledge' (I've seen this before) and 'knowledge' is found within the answer.
'record' could be 'cd' (type of musical record) and 'cd' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for acknowledged that I've seen is " Admitted".)
