Unremarkable actions helping criminal (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
nothing special
'unremarkable' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'actions helping criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'actions'+'helping'='actionshelping'
'actionshelping' is an anagram of 'NOTHING SPECIAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for nothing special that I've seen is " Ordinary".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
