Check on shed where rabbits are kept (5)
I believe the answer is:
hutch
'where rabbits are kept' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'check on shed' is the wordplay.
'check' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shed' becomes 'hut' (I've seen this before).
'ch' after 'hut' is 'HUTCH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hutch that I've seen before include "Domesticated rabbit's home" , "Cage for pet(s)" , "Cage for rabbit?" , "Pet shelter" , "Bunny box" .)
