Hit craft to the left circling key vehicle on track (7)
I believe the answer is:
tramcar
'hit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'craft to the left circling key vehicle on track' is the wordplay.
'craft' becomes 'art' (both can mean cunning or trickery).
'to the left' says the letters should be written backwards (letters written from right to left).
'circling' indicates putting letters inside (circling can mean going around or containing).
'key' becomes 'A' (musical key).
'vehicle on track' becomes 'mcr' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'art' written backwards gives 'tra'.
'a' placed within 'mcr' is 'mcar'.
'tra'+'mcar'='TRAMCAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tramcar that I've seen before include "Electrical vehicle" , "Electrically driven public transport vehicle" , "Electric transport" , "Public street transport on rails" , "Passenger vehicle running on rails" .)
