Socratic puzzle? (8)
I believe the answer is:
acrostic
'socratic puzzle?' is the definition.
'acrostic' can be an answer for 'puzzle?' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'socratic' bit.
'socratic puzzle?' is the wordplay.
'puzzle?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'puzzling' mean this).
'socratic' anagrammed gives 'ACROSTIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acrostic that I've seen before include "Type of word puzzle" , "Poem where first letters of lines spell a word" , "a little puzzling" , "Puzzle involving leading characters" , "Form of word puzzle" .)
