How often to have hot cereal on Tuesday (6)
I believe the answer is:
thrice
'how often to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'hot cereal on tuesday' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation, eg on taps).
'cereal' becomes 'rice' (rice is a kind of cereal).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tuesday' becomes 't'.
'h'+'rice'='hrice'
'hrice' put after 't' is 'THRICE'.
'have' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thrice that I've seen before include "In threefold degree" , "Several times" , "Once, once more and yet once more" , "Three-time" , "Old usage for three times" .)
