Could this be hidden by residents in kitchen? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sink
'could this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'hidden by residents in kitchen?' is the wordplay.
'hidden' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SINK' can be found hidden inside 'by residents in kitchen'.
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sink that I've seen before include "Go down (in the kitchen?)" , "Invest capital in - kitchen basin - founder" , "Drop beneath the surface" , "Slump" , "Pocket (billiards)" .)
