Helpful Hints
- This clue is an &lit clue, which means the whole clue is the wordplay and the whole clue is the definition. So, our answer will be another way of saying that something is 'hardly remarkable'.
- The wordplay is a rebus – a 'say what you see' clue – where the effect of wordplay is present in the clue, and the answer functions as the wordplay instructions! What answer could result in the weird uppercase effect in our clue (or is it a lowercase effect??!) while also corresponding with our definition?
- Hopefully you read wordplay hint 1 first! To be a little less cryptic in our hint, it's the lowercase letters you'll need to pay attention to. Here, those lowercase letters are D, E, A, and L. What's a phrase that could match our definition and also explain why DEAL is small?
