Helpful Hints
- The indicators are 'Not at', and 'in'. 'Not at' is a deletion indicator - it's uncommon, but it's suggesting that certain letters aren't found at some other fodder (any more). And 'in' is a containing indicator - some fodder will be put in some other fodder.
- Our fodder in this clue is 'whisky', 'two', and 'the morning'. We'll need to find short substitutes for two of these and use them with the letters of the other to construct our answer, as directed by the indicator(s).
- The definition is 'Little bit' — we’re looking for a word that can represent a very small amount.
