Impressive characters? (5)
I believe the answer is:
types
'impressive characters?' is the definition.
'types' can be an answer for 'characters?' ('type' can be a synonym of 'character'). I'm unsure of the 'impressive' bit.
'impressive characters?' is the wordplay.
'impressive' becomes 'ty' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'characters?' becomes 'pes' (pe is a kind of character).
'ty'+'pes'='TYPES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for types that I've seen before include "Classes or groups" , "Writes using a keyboard" , "Uses a keyboard; sorts" , "Categories having common characteristics" , "Sorts; kinds" .)
