One way to inform out of touch readers? (7)
I believe the answer is:
braille
'touch readers?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'one way to inform out' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a'.
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'inform' becomes 'brill' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'e' put after 'brill' is 'brille'.
'a' inserted inside 'brille' is 'BRAILLE'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for braille that I've seen before include "Raised type for blind people" , "Writing system for the blind" , "Touching letters" , "French educationist" , "System of writing for the visually-impaired" .)
