Could it chop up a worm around the end of June? (5)
I believe the answer is:
mower
'could it chop' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'up a worm around the end of june?' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'june' is 'e'.
'worm' is an anagram of 'mowr'.
'mowr' placed around 'e' is 'MOWER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mower that I've seen before include "Grass cutter" , "Grass-cutter" , "Lawn cutter" , "Gardening equipment" , "Machine for cutting grass" .)
