Lads in trouble in isolated spot (6)
I believe the answer is:
island
'isolated spot' is the definition.
'island' can be an answer for 'isolated' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'spot' bit.
'lads in trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'lads'+'in'='ladsin'
'ladsin' anagrammed gives 'ISLAND'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for island that I've seen before include "See 13" , "Barbados, say" , "eg Rhode, Rhodes" , "See 7" , "Man, maybe" .)
