A shelter for little piggies in Wellington? (6)
I believe the answer is:
toecap
'wellington?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a shelter for little piggies' is the wordplay.
'a shelter' becomes 'cap' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'piggies' becomes 'toes' (I've seen this in another clue).
'toes' with its final letter taken off is 'toe'.
'cap' after 'toe' is 'TOECAP'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toecap that I've seen before include "Protective cover on boot or shoe" , "Shoe protector" , "Front cover of shoe" , "part of Oxford, perhaps" , "Boot's metal end" .)
