Charger available for flat, lead in bedroom plugged in (8)
'charger' is the definition.
(animal which charges)
'available for flat lead in bedroom plugged in' is the wordplay.
'available' becomes 'here' (available in this place).
'flat' becomes 'dull' (similar in meaning).
'lead in' suggests taking the first letters.
'plugged in' is an insertion indicator.
The first letter of 'bedroom' is 'b'.
'dull' going around 'b' is 'dbull'.
'here'+'for'+'dbull'='HEREFORD BULL'
'charger' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'available for flat lead in bedroom plugged in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'available' could be 'here' (available in this place) and 'here' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ford' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
