Groups of creatures with fine hair (6)
I believe the answer is:
flocks
'groups of creatures' is the definition.
'flocks' can be an answer for 'groups' (I have seen 'Groups of animals ' mean 'flocks' so perhaps 'groups' could also mean 'flocks'). I'm unsure of the 'of creatures' bit.
'with fine hair' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation e.g. condition of old coins, books).
'hair' becomes 'locks' (locks can mean hair).
'f' put next to 'locks' is 'FLOCKS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flocks that I've seen before include "Groups of birds or sheep" , "Groups of animals" , "Tended by shepherds" .)
