Problems in birdwatching hut’s sloping surface (8)
I believe the answer is:
hillside
'sloping surface' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'problems in birdwatching hut's' is the wordplay.
'problems' becomes 'ills' (as in the ills of society).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'birdwatching hut' becomes 'hide' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ills' going into 'hide' is 'HILLSIDE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hillside that I've seen before include "One's inclined" , "Incline" , "Brae in Scotland" , "''We'll keep a welcome in the ...'' (Welsh song)" , "Slope of a small mountain" .)
