Lanced, stupidly, with block of wax (6)
I believe the answer is:
candle
'block of wax' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'lanced stupidly' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' is an anagram indicator (a stupid ordering of the letters).
'lanced' is an anagram of 'CANDLE'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for candle that I've seen before include "Symbol of hope" , "It's better to light one than curse the darkness, it's said" , "Artificial light" , "Wicked light" , "Lanced in light" .)
