Could this six-footer be an egghead? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bee
'could this six-footer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'be an egghead?' is the wordplay.
'an egghead?' becomes 'e' (head letter of 'egg').
'be'+'e'='BEE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bee that I've seen before include "Buzzing insect" , "In one's bonnet, it's an obsessive idea" , "A honey-maker" , "Social insect" , "Honey maker" .)
