Letters to spell ‘spit’? That’s child’s play (7)
I believe the answer is:
sandpit
'play' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sandpit that I've seen before include "place where youngsters can play" , "Play area; quarry" , "Site of castle perhaps" , "children may play here" , "Children's play area - it'd snap (anag)" .)
