Made case out for literary colleges (8)
I believe the answer is:
academes
'literary colleges' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'made case out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'made'+'case'='madecase'
'madecase' is an anagram of 'ACADEMES'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
