Club with spirits and cider? (10)
I believe the answer is:
woodpecker
'cider?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'club with spirits' is the wordplay.
'club with' becomes 'wood' (wood is a kind of club. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'spirits' becomes 'pecker' (I've seen this before).
'wood'+'pecker'='WOODPECKER'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for woodpecker that I've seen before include "Knocking bird" , "Bird that drills holes" , "Tapping bird" .)
