________ isn’t represented on a lot of maps! (8)
I believe the answer is:
atlantis
'isn't represented on a lot of maps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'isn't represented on a lot of maps' is the wordplay.
'represented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a lot of' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'maps' becomes 'atlas' (printed collection of maps).
'atlas' with its final letter removed is 'atla'.
'isnt' anagrammed gives 'ntis'.
'ntis' after 'atla' is 'ATLANTIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atlantis that I've seen before include "Legendary lost island" , "Fabled sunken island" , "Island not traced" , "Mysterious continent" , "Fabled lost city" .)
