Huge figure enough to completely stuff bowler? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hatful
'huge figure enough' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'completely stuff bowler?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bowler?' could be 'hat' (bowler is a kind of hat) and 'hat' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hatful that I've seen before include "lot" , "Large number" .)
