Ducks circling river come down in resort (7)
I believe the answer is:
orlando
'resort' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'ducks circling river come down' is the wordplay.
'ducks' becomes 'oo' (two O's - duck means zero in cricket).
'circling' indicates putting letters inside (circling can mean going around or containing).
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'come down' becomes 'land' (to land is to come down after flying).
'r'+'land'='rland'
'oo' enclosing 'rland' is 'ORLANDO'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orlando that I've seen before include "Disney World location" , "V. Woolf novel" , "Florida resort -- Virginia Woolf novel" , "Bloom for one" , "place in Florida" .)
