Items in the armoury of the crossword setter? (6)
I believe the answer is:
swords
'items in the armoury' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of the crossword setter?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'SWORDS' is hidden within 'crossword setter'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swords that I've seen before include "Bladed weapons in north Dublin" , "Thrusting weapons" , "Weapons from north Co Dublin?" , "Steel weapons" , "Eg, rapiers, sabres" .)
