Maxim used by SAS, as her windows smashed (3,5,4)
I believe the answer is:
who dares wins
'maxim used by sas' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'as her windows smashed' is the wordplay.
'smashed' indicates an anagram.
'as'+'her'+'windows'='asherwindows'
'asherwindows' is an anagram of 'WHO DARES WINS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for who dares wins that I've seen is " SAS motto".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
