In Paris, I have left holiday escape at the Bastille? (9)
I believe the answer is:
jailbreak
'escape at the bastille?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'in paris i have left holiday' is the wordplay.
'in paris' becomes 'ja' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'have' says to put letters next to each other.
'left' becomes 'L' (common abbreviation).
'holiday' becomes 'break' (break can mean a holiday or time off).
'ja'+'i'+'l'+'break'='JAILBREAK'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
