Better hearted kids in Germany (6)
I believe the answer is:
kinder
'better hearted' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'kids in germany' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'germany' could be 'de' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'de' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kinder that I've seen before include "More considerate and helpful" , "with less severity" , "More agreeable" , "German children" , "more pleasant" .)
