After dance noticed activity in assembly room? (6)
I believe the answer is:
jigsaw
'activity in assembly room?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'after dance noticed' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'dance' becomes 'jig' (jig is a kind of dance).
'noticed' becomes 'saw' (I've seen this in another clue).
'jig' next to 'saw' is 'JIGSAW'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jigsaw that I've seen before include "Puzzle fittingly completed" , "Puzzle-maker" , "Sharp tool (for cutting puzzle into pieces?)" , "Woodcutter" , "Kind of puzzle" .)
