Article by Home Counties people here? (5)
I believe the answer is:
these
'people here?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'article by home counties' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'home counties' becomes 'se'.
'the'+'se'='THESE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for these that I've seen before include "See 13" , "The items indicated here" , "This lot" , "The persons or things here" , "He set (anag)" .)
