Is each rickety pine frame for usable furniture? (6-6)
I believe the answer is:
chaise longue
'usable furniture?' is the definition.
'chaise longue' can be an answer for 'furniture?' (chaise longue is a kind of furniture). I am unsure of the 'usable' bit.
'is each rickety pine frame' is the wordplay.
'rickety' indicates an anagram.
'pine' becomes 'long' (to pine for something is to long for it).
'frame' becomes 'ue' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is'+'each'='iseach'
'iseach' anagrammed gives 'chaise'.
'chaise'+'long'+'ue'='CHAISE-LONGUE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaise longue that I've seen before include "Sofa for reclining on" , "Type of sofa" , "Partly backed couch with one arm" , "Reclining seat with back and armrest" .)
