In North America, a hut that's ramshackle (4)
I believe the answer is:
utah
'in north america' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a hut that's ramshackle' is the wordplay.
'a hut' anagrams to 'UTAH'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for utah that I've seen before include "US state settled by the Mormons" , "State, Mormon settlement" , "American state associated with Mormons and their faith" , "Mormon US state" , "State of the union" .)
