Success — a learner’s tap-in maybe (4)
I believe the answer is:
goal
'tap-in maybe' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'success a learner's' is the wordplay.
'success' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'go'+'a'+'l'='GOAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for goal that I've seen before include "could be worth 3 points" , "Target or ambition" , "Football score" , "Object, aim" , "Objective or score" .)
