Is one wrong about there being ten such beasts? (4)
I believe the answer is:
oxen
'beasts?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Beasts of burden ' mean 'oxen' so perhaps 'beasts' could also mean 'oxen')
'is one wrong about there being ten' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'wrong' could be 'x' and 'x' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'one' is 'oen' which is within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'such' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oxen that I've seen before include "Draught animals" , "Beasts of burden or domestic cattle" , "Beef stock" , "Bovine creatures" , "Lowers" .)
