English isle over a US state (4)
I believe the answer is:
iowa
'us state' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'english isle over a' is the wordplay.
'english isle' becomes 'iow' (abbreviation for Isle of Wight. I am not sure about the 'english' bit.**).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'iow'+'a'='IOWA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iowa that I've seen before include "Central US state" , "US state, capital Des Moines" , "US state, three vowels" , "'Hawkeye State'" , "American state, capital Des Moines" .)
