Broke into range (5)
I believe the answer is:
stove
This could be a double definition.
'broke' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'range' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'into' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stove that I've seen before include "Oven" , "Cooking apparatus" , "Broke a hole in" , "Votes (anag)" , "Old cooker" .)
