Flashlight used to find the church on the hill (5)
I believe the answer is:
torch
'flashlight' is the definition.
(I know that flashlight can be written as torch)
'to find the church on the hill' is the wordplay.
'find' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the church' becomes 'RC' (abbreviation for Roman Catholic).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the hill' becomes 'h' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'to'+'rc'+'h'='TORCH'
'used' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for torch that I've seen before include "Set fire to - hand-held light" , "Link" , "Small hand-held battery lamp" , "Set fire to (something)" , "A large candle" .)
