Puzzle 1238 4 down
Clue: Prompt honest new deal on electric puha.
Answer: On the spot
I got the answer by elimination of other possibilities, but can’t relate it to the clue. Thanks for any explanation. Richard Lawrence
Thanks for posting the clue, Richard – makes it much easier to reply quickly! ‘Prompt’ is the definition, not a totally convincing one to my mind. ‘New deal’ signifies shuflling the letters of ‘honest’ – ie an anagram. That is followed by POT, which like ‘electric puha’ is a colloquial term for marijuana.
I hope this is helpful…
