In the nursery, is nice for playing with (7)
I believe the answer is:
conifer
'in the nursery' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'nice for playing with' is the wordplay.
'nice for' can be anagrammed to 'CONIFER'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for conifer that I've seen before include "Type of tree" , "In force (anag.)" , "E.g. yew, pine or fir" , "Fir or pine, for example" , "Eg, pine, fir or cypress" .)
