Featured in revolutionary tale, Kaa and this character? (5)
I believe the answer is:
akela
'this character?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'featured in revolutionary tale kaa' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'featured in' indicates a hidden word.
'aleka' is hidden in the letters of 'tale kaa'.
'aleka' in reverse letter order is 'AKELA'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for akela that I've seen before include "Cub Scouts adult leader" , "pack-leader" , "Cub Scout pack leader" , "Jungle Book wolf (Kipling)" , "Adult leading cubs" .)
