Create improvement to include right row of houses (7)
I believe the answer is:
terrace
'row of houses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'create improvement to include right' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'create' is 'terace' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for terrace that I've seen before include "flat roof" , "Sloping area in stadium" , "Abutting row of houses" , "Bank - houses in a row" , "From which spectators watch" .)
