Device supplying water I run for hoofed animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
tapir
'hoofed animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'device supplying water i run' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'device' could be 'tap' (tap is a kind of device) and 'tap' is present in the answer.
'i' is within the answer.
'run' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapir that I've seen before include "Animal with elongated snout" , "A trip (anag) - animal" , "Nocturnal mammal with a short flexible proboscis" , "nocturnal beast" , "Nocturnal hoofed animal" .)
