Local network installed in loft by the ocean (8)
I believe the answer is:
atlantic
'ocean' is the definition.
(I know that Atlantic is a ocean)
'local network installed in loft' is the wordplay.
'local network' becomes 'lan' (Local Area Network. I am not sure about the 'local' bit.).
'installed in' indicates putting letters inside.
'loft' becomes 'attic' (synonyms).
'lan' put within 'attic' is 'ATLANTIC'.
'by the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atlantic that I've seen before include "What lies to the east of 10" , "Tilt a can at the ocean" , "New Jersey resort" , "Ocean from Arctic to Antarctic" , "main" .)
