What creature with whiskers twists? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tache
'what creature with whiskers twists?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'creature with whiskers twists?' is the wordplay.
'creature' becomes 'cat' (cats are animals).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'whiskers' becomes 'eh' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'twists?' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'twisted ' mean this).
'cat' after 'eh' is 'ehcat'.
'ehcat' reversed gives 'TACHE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tache that I've seen before include "Facial ornament" , "Some bristles" , "show on one's face" , "Whiskers (informal)" , "facial hair" .)
