Better that wool is ordered for warmth in retirement? (3-5,6)
I believe the answer is:
hot-water bottle
'warmth in retirement?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'better that wool is ordered' is the wordplay.
'is ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'better'+'that'+'wool'='betterthatwool'
'betterthatwool' is an anagram of 'HOT-WATER BOTTLE'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hot-water bottle that I've seen before include "comfort in retirement!" , "Bed warmer" , "night heater" .)
