He admits Alfred and Timothy for break during game (8)
I believe the answer is:
halftime
'he admits alfred and timothy for break during game' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'he admits alfred and timothy' is the wordplay.
'admits' means one lot of letters goes inside another (to admit is to allow in).
'alfred' becomes 'alf' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'timothy' becomes 'tim' (I've seen this in other clues).
'alf'+'tim'='alftim'
'he' enclosing 'alftim' is 'HALFTIME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
