Bill right to seek answer: where does Lincoln makes the laws? (8)
I believe the answer is:
nebraska
'where does lincoln makes the laws?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'bill right to seek answer' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'neb' ('neb' can be a synonym of 'bill'**).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to seek' becomes 'ask' (I've seen this before).
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'neb'+'r'+'ask'+'a'='NEBRASKA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nebraska that I've seen before include "Where Lincoln found" , "Mid-western US state" , "State N. of Kansas" , "US state, capital Lincoln" , "Wading bird" .)
