Differing in tastes, they may still be united (6)
I believe the answer is:
states
'still be united' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'differing in tastes they' is the wordplay.
'tastes' can be anagrammed to 'STATES'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'may' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for states that I've seen before include "Conditions of American administrative units" , "Asserts" , "Proclaims" , "Utters in the American Union" , "Conditions or circumstances" .)
