Who mixed colour to make trouble? (3-3-2)
I believe the answer is:
how-dye-do
'trouble?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'who mixed colour to make' is the wordplay.
'mixed' is an anagram indicator.
'colour' becomes 'dye' (dyeing is a kind of colouring).
'to make' becomes 'do' (eg to make or 'do' a meal).
'who' is an anagram of 'how'.
'how'+'dye'+'do'='HOW-D'YE-DO'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
