Has a hunch drink is for models (8)
I believe the answer is:
supposes
'has a hunch' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'drink is for models' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'sup' (I've seen this before).
'is for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'models' becomes 'poses' ('pose' can be a synonym of 'model').
'sup'+'poses'='SUPPOSES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for supposes that I've seen before include "Imagines to be true" , "Thinks, imagines" .)
