Exercise time for Rover? (3)
I believe the answer is:
pet
'rover?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'exercise time' is the wordplay.
'exercise' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'pe'+'t'='PET'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pet that I've seen before include "The darling one in a small temper" , "Tamed domestic animal" , "House animal; sulk" , "Preferred" , "Favoured child or animal" .)
