Every six months, bank does a review to start off year (8)
I believe the answer is:
biannual
'every six' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'months bank does a review to start off year' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for biannual that I've seen before include "Occuring twice a year" , "Happening twice a year" , "Occurring twice yearly" , "Occurring twice a year" , "periodical" .)
