Also chasing university place in Pennines? (6)
I believe the answer is:
upland
'also chasing university place in pennines?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'also chasing university place in' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'and' (both can mean in addition).
'chasing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters chase after others).
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'and' put after 'u' is 'uand'.
'uand' going around 'pl' is 'UPLAND'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upland that I've seen before include "Hilly country" , "in the heart of the country" , "Area of hills" , "moors?" , "High or hilly terrain" .)
