Matches for the unattached? (7)
I believe the answer is:
singles
'matches for the unattached?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'matches for the unattached?' is the wordplay.
'matches' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the unattached?' becomes 'single' (without a partner).
's' put after 'single' is 'SINGLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for singles that I've seen before include "Type of tennis match" , "Ones" , "Form of tennis" , "Non-return tickets" .)
