Information about small puppet (5)
I believe the answer is:
sweep
'puppet' is the definition.
(I have seen 'a puppet' mean 'sweep' so perhaps 'puppet' could also mean 'sweep')
'information about small' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'sp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'small' becomes 'wee' (Scottish term for small).
'sp' enclosing 'wee' is 'SWEEP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweep that I've seen before include "Brush; rush" , "Clean (eg chimney)" , "Clean the floor" , "Long oar" , "Dust" .)
