How to solve this Minute Cryptic clue
The clue “Hammerhead can’t see angler’s line… it’s hooked!” resolves to HANGER. Minute Cryptic clues usually combine a direct definition with wordplay instructions, so the breakdown below keeps the clue wording visible for searchers and solvers.
Indicator
This clue's indicators are 'head' and 'can’t see', and the latter is a homoglyph + deletion indicator. 'see' is telling us to observe the shape that a nearby word represents, and find the letter that corresponds to that shape. When paired with 'can't', we're being told to delete that homoglyph from neighbouring fodder - we can't see it! Oh yes, and 'head' is a selection indicator naming the position of an important letter in adjacent fodder.
Fodder
This clue's fodder is 'Hammer', 'angler' and 'line'. We'll use the letters of two of these and transform the third into a substitute to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
