A report of playwright on the beach? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ashore
'the beach?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a report of playwright on' is the wordplay.
'report of playwright' becomes 'sho' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'a'+'sho'+'re'='ASHORE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "Returned to land" , "Toward land from the sea" , "Toward land from water" , "Going on land from sea" , "On(to) dry land" .)
