Can you credit eels getting into them? (6)
I believe the answer is:
creels
'eels getting into them?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'can you credit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'credit' could be 'cr' (abbreviation) and 'cr' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eels' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creels that I've seen before include "Wicker baskets to hold fish" , "Wicker baskets for fishermen" , "Fish-baskets" , "Fishermen use" .)
