Lyn gets up; puts on stockings first - these? (6)
I believe the answer is:
nylons
'these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'lyn gets up puts on stockings first' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'lyn' is 'nyl' which is present in the answer.
'on' is found in the answer.
'stockings first' could be 's' (1st letter of 'stockings') and 's' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nylons that I've seen before include "Hose" , "Silk-like stockings" , "Hosiery" , "Thin tights" , "Stockings made of artificial material" .)
