Awful boring ad, not good, placed in Hull?
I believe the answer is:
inboard
'placed in hull?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
'awful boring ad not good' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'boring'+'ad'='boringad'
'boringad' with 'g' taken out is 'borinad'.
'borinad' with letters rearranged gives 'INBOARD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inboard that I've seen before include "housed in Hull?" , "Within a ship or plane" , "description of boat's engine" , "This motor is located within a boat" , "Kind of boat engine" .)
