Is a con arranged where gamblers throng? (6)
I believe the answer is:
casino
'gamblers throng?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'is a con arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'a'+'con'='isacon'
'isacon' anagrammed gives 'CASINO'.
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for casino that I've seen before include "You can win a fortune here" , "Gaming-house" , "Gaming club" , "Gambling place" , "--- Royale (Fleming)" .)
