Greek starter in local pharmacy (5)
I believe the answer is:
alpha
'greek starter' is the definition.
'alpha' can be an answer for 'starter' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'greek' bit.
'in local pharmacy' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ALPHA' is hidden within 'local pharmacy'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alpha that I've seen before include "First, best quality" , "starter" , "Dominant" , "Early testing stage for new software or hardware" , "First in order of importance (for a Greek?)" .)
