The Clue was “Doubtful as to its truth, ultimately? (2,2,2)”.

The Answer was “IS THAT SO”.  The solution is an anagram of AS TO ITS and H (Truth – ultimately – indicating the last letter). The anagram indicator is “Doubtful”.

This is a (Semi) &Lit clue since the entire clue read together also provides the definition.

Once again, well done to each of you who not only solved it but also annotated it correctly in our blog post. Now, Can you solve THIS clue? This will be the last teaser in this current lot. We will be back with more after a short break.
