A case for Rebus concerning misuse of Tinder? (5)
I believe the answer is:
arson
'misuse of tinder?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a case for rebus concerning' is the wordplay.
'case for' means to remove the middle letters (the letters which encase the others are used).
'concerning' becomes 'on'.
'rebus' with its centre removed is 'rs'.
'a'+'rs'+'on'='ARSON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "major crime" , "Crime of fire-setting (5)" , "Fire requiring forensic study" , "The act of firing" , "Fire-raising crime" .)
