Solution for 23 June cryptic crossword clue



Steel structure only demolished under pressure (5)

Solution – pylon

A relatively straight- forward one. Not that any cryptic clue is really straight forward.

The solution is a word that means or is an example of "steel structure"

And it is made up by the second part of the clue

"only demolished" means that the letters in "only" are "demolished" ie scrambled up

And you find them "under pressure" that is – underneath (or after) the letter "p" for pressure.
