Mention comrade for new position -- as this does? (14)
I believe the answer is:
recommendation
'this does?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'mention comrade for new position' is the wordplay.
'for new position' is an anagram indicator (letters in new positions).
'mention'+'comrade'='mentioncomrade'
'mentioncomrade' is an anagram of 'RECOMMENDATION'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recommendation that I've seen before include "testimonial" , "Suggestion as to the best course of action" , "good word!" .)
