City where group of witches go (8)
I believe the answer is:
coventry
'city' is the definition.
(Coventry is an example)
'group of witches go' is the wordplay.
'group of witches' becomes 'coven' (a coven is a group of witches).
'go' becomes 'try' (both can mean an attempt).
'coven'+'try'='COVENTRY'
'where' is the link.
(Other definitions for coventry that I've seen before include "West Midlands city" , "Where the ostracised get sent" , "City (for those banished from society?)" , "cathedral city" , "English city" .)
