Creator of new design put hole in wrought iron (8)
I believe the answer is:
inventor
'creator of new design' is the definition.
'inventor' can be an answer for 'creator' (inventor is a kind of creator). I'm unsure of the 'of new design' bit.
'hole in wrought iron' is the wordplay.
'hole' becomes 'vent' (vent is a kind of hole).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'wrought' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'iron' is an anagram of 'inor'.
'vent' inserted inside 'inor' is 'INVENTOR'.
'put' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inventor that I've seen before include "Morse, perhaps" , "Creator, first to make something" , "Creative person" , "Thomas Edison was a great one" , "Bell, perhaps" .)
