What, paradoxically, is spelt differently in dialect? (9)
I believe the answer is:
identical
'what paradoxically' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'spelt differently in dialect?' is the wordplay.
'spelt differently' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'dialect'='indialect'
'indialect' is an anagram of 'IDENTICAL'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for identical that I've seen before include "Indistinguishable" , "Impossible to tell apart" , "Similar" , "showing no change" , "Like two peas in a pod" .)
