Describing Captain Hook without any help (12)
I believe the answer is:
singlehanded
'describing captain hook without any' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'help' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'help' could be 'hand' (hand is a kind of help) and 'hand' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for singlehanded that I've seen is " alone".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
