Draught animal for every chore performed by noon (9)
I believe the answer is:
percheron
'draught animal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'every chore performed by noon' is the wordplay.
'every' becomes 'per' (I've seen this in other clues).
'performed' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'noon' becomes 'n'.
'chore' is an anagram of 'chero'.
'per'+'chero'+'n'='PERCHERON'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for percheron that I've seen before include "Carthorse" , "heavy horse" , "draught horse" .)
