American soldier leading workers, huge folk (6)
I believe the answer is:
giants
'american soldier leading workers huge folk' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'american soldier leading workers' is the wordplay.
'american soldier' becomes 'gi' (informal term for a US soldier).
'leading' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go in front of others).
'workers' becomes 'ants' (worker ants).
'gi'+'ants'='GIANTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for giants that I've seen before include "eg The inhabitants of Brobdingnag" , "they're big" , "Behemoths, titans" , "Large mythical beings" , "Behbmoths, titans" .)
