Fairground attraction where rifles exploded (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
ferris wheel
'fairground attraction' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'where rifles exploded' is the wordplay.
'exploded' is an anagram indicator.
'where'+'rifles'='whererifles'
'whererifles' anagrammed gives 'FERRIS WHEEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ferris wheel that I've seen before include "Attraction at fair" , "Fairground ride" , "Funfair feature and London Millennium attraction" , "London Eye, for example" .)
