Training inept GI forces — how long might it be? (5,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
piece of string
'long might it be?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'training inept gi forces' is the wordplay.
'training' indicates anagramming the letters (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'inept'+'gi'+'forces'='ineptgiforces'
'ineptgiforces' anagrammed gives 'PIECE OF STRING'.
'how' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
