Country number by Robbie Williams initially with a catchy ending (6)
I believe the answer is:
norway
'country' is the definition.
(Norway is an example)
'number by robbie williams initially with a catchy ending' is the wordplay.
'number by' becomes 'no' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'ending' suggests the final letters (the ending of the word).
The first letters of 'robbie williams' is 'rw'.
The last letter of 'catchy' is 'y'.
'no'+'rw'+'a'+'y'='NORWAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "European monarchy" , "Ray won (anag)" , "See twelve across" , "European kingdom" , "Now, Ray, go to the country" .)
