Does it take a month to make soup with this creature? (7)
I believe the answer is:
octopus
'does it take a month to make soup with this creature?' is the definition.
'octopus' can be an answer for 'creature?' (octopus is a kind of creature). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.
'make soup with this creature?' is the wordplay.
'make' indicates an anagram.
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'this creature?' becomes 'oct' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'soup' with letters rearranged gives 'opus'.
'opus' enclosing 'oct' is 'OCTOPUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for octopus that I've seen before include "Cephalopod mollusc" , "Sea creature - pulpo on a Spanish menu" , "One well-armed" , "Marine cephalopod" , "one that's heavily armed?" .)
