Meaning to play guitar for a time — or a flute? (10)
I believe the answer is:
instrument
'a flute?' is the definition.
(flute is a kind of instrument)
'meaning to play guitar for a time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'play' could be 'strum' (I've seen this before) and 'strum' is located in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for instrument that I've seen before include "legal document" , "Word puzzle" , "power" , "What's needed for 1 [MUSICIAN]" , "Joanna, perhaps" .)
