American visiting Michigan state and Oklahoma? (7)
I believe the answer is:
musical
'oklahoma?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'american visiting michigan state' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'visiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'michigan' becomes 'mi' (state letters).
'state' becomes 'cal' (short for California).
'us' placed inside 'mi' is 'musi'.
'musi'+'cal'='MUSICAL'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for musical that I've seen before include "Tommy, for one" , "Show with singing and dancing" , "Eg, Les Miserables" , "Oklahoma, say" , "Song and dance show" .)
