Mark entry to murky alley with a hobble (6)
I believe the answer is:
lamely
'mark entry to murky alley with a hobble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'mark entry to murky alley' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'mark' could be 'm' and 'm' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'alley' is 'laely' which is within the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lamely that I've seen is " In halting, unconvincing way".)
