ReplyDeleteHere’s the explanation: In a letter bank clue, a word or phrase is built up out of a “bank” of letters, sort of like an anagram without showing any repeated letters. Example:
ReplyDeleteHeartfelt correspondence developed out of revolt (4,6)
LOVE LETTER is “developed” out of the bank of letters REVOLT.
Thanks Fraser. I never knew this.
