Queen tussling with a Lib, not fairly matched? (9)
I believe the answer is:
inequable
'not fairly matched?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'queen tussling with a lib' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'queen' could be 'qu' (abbreviation for queen) and 'qu' is found within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inequable that I've seen before include "Unfairly distributed" , "Not evenly distributed" , "Unfair" , "It's not even" .)
