Dorothy puts four inside part of the lawn (5)
I believe the answer is:
divot
'part of the lawn' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'dorothy puts four' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'four' could be 'iv' (Roman numerals for four) and 'iv' is found within the answer.
'dorothy' could be 'dot' (short for Dorothy) and 'dot' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'inside' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for divot that I've seen before include "Sod" , "Piece of turf dug out of a lawn" , "Turf golfer dislodges" , "Loose piece of turf" , "Clump of turf for a golfer to replace" .)
