Crossing road, hen's linked with riddle -- this type? (5,6,3)
I believe the answer is:
rhode island red
'crossing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'road hen's linked with riddle this type?' is the wordplay.
'linked with' says to put letters next to each other.
'this type?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'type' mean this).
'road' after 'hens' is 'hensroad'.
'hensroad'+'riddle'='hensroadriddle'
'hensroadriddle' is an anagram of 'RHODE ISLAND RED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rhode island red that I've seen before include "Chicken breed" , "New England communist" , "American Communist" , "Fowl" , "possible victim of battery" .)
