In shrewd fashion, clubs and bar finally pool money (8)
I believe the answer is:
cleverly
'in shrewd fashion clubs and bar finally pool money' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'clubs and bar finally pool money' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bar' becomes 'lever' (lever is a kind of bar).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letters of 'pool money' are 'ly'.
'c'+'lever'+'ly'='CLEVERLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleverly that I've seen before include "Skilfully, adroitly" , "In a skilful way" , "Dextrously - astutely" , "In a talented way" .)
