Something useful to an angler with a dinghy? (8)
I believe the answer is:
'something useful' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'an angler with a dinghy?' is the wordplay.
'an angler' becomes 'hook' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a dinghy?' becomes 'boat' (dinghy is a kind of boat).
'hook' put after 'boat' is 'BOATHOOK'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for boathook that I've seen is " Push off with this".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
