Building a base next to tip (8)
I believe the answer is:
bungalow
'building' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a base next to tip' is the wordplay.
'base next' becomes 'low' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'next' bit.).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'tip' becomes 'bung' (synonyms).
'a'+'low'='alow'
'alow' put after 'bung' is 'BUNGALOW'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bungalow that I've seen before include "One-storeyed home" , "Single-storey house" , "One-storeyed building" , "Single-storey home" , "Single storey house" .)
