Chap who took a chicken round for his mum (2-3)
I believe the answer is:
he-man
'chap who took a' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'chicken round for his mum' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'mum' could be 'ma' (both can mean mother) and 'ma' is present in the answer.
'chicken' could be 'hen' (hen is a kind of chicken) and 'hen' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for he-man that I've seen before include "Masterful male, macho sort" , "Macho type" , "Macho chap" , "Extremely virile male" , "Hunk" .)
