Did he organise hordes in Africa? (6)
I believe the answer is:
rhodes
'africa?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'did he organise hordes' is the wordplay.
'hordes' can be anagrammed to 'RHODES'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rhodes that I've seen before include "Colonial businessman" , "Aegean island" , "Cycled round hot Society Island" , "Hordes visit the Greek island" , "British imperialist; Greek island" .)
