Is artist appropriate for this type of writer (8)
I believe the answer is:
satirist
'for this type of writer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'is artist' is the wordplay.
'is artist' can be anagrammed to 'SATIRIST'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'appropriate' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for satirist that I've seen before include "comedian" , "Swift, perhaps" , "He sends up" , "Pope, say" , "Biting comic" .)
