Unhappy singleton really on the loose! (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
lonely heart
'unhappy singleton' is the definition.
'really on the loose' is the wordplay.
'loose' indicates an anagram (letters are loosened from their original positions).
'really'+'on'+'the'='reallyonthe'
'reallyonthe' with letters rearranged gives 'LONELY HEART'.
(Another definition for lonely heart that I've seen is " One seeking love".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
