Large room, one we organised to show scary movie (9)
I believe the answer is:
hallowe'en
'show scary movie' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'large room one we organised' is the wordplay.
'large room' becomes 'hall' (a hall is a large room).
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'we'='onewe'
'onewe' is an anagram of 'oween'.
'hall'+'oween'='HALLOWEEN'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
