Drink a round at “The Nag” (5)
I believe the answer is:
pinto
'the nag' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'drink a round' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'pint' (I've seen this before**).
'a round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'pint'+'o'='PINTO'
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pinto that I've seen before include "H [HORSE]" , "Mount" , "Spotted or piebald horse" , "patchy horse" , "A piebald pony" .)
