Flat areas to be found in Alps? (6)
I believe the answer is:
plains
'found in alps?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'flat areas' is the wordplay.
'flat' becomes 'plain' (I've seen this in other clues).
'areas' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'plain'+'s'='PLAINS'
'to be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plains that I've seen before include "Flats" , "Large areas of level country" , "Flat tracts of land" , "Large areas of flat lands" , "Spinal (anag.)" .)
