Doomed king switching sides? True(4)
Solution – real
This
is an example of a letter shifting
clue.
Letter
shifting involves moving a letter within a word to form another word. As per normal you have a definition for the
solution, a definition for the word with the letter to be shifted and a letter
shifting indicator.
Letter
shifting indicators include: from head
to foot, from top to bottom – both mean swapping the first and last letters
You
can have clues where more than one letter is shifted – as is the case with this
clue. Indicators might included
“switching” or “swapping”.
“Doomed
king” = Lear from Shakespeare’s King Lear
When
you switch the sides of Lear you get “real”
And
this matches the definition of the solution within the clue – true = real.
