Moron introduced newts into the wilderness in Tasmania (6)
I believe the answer is:
nitwit
'moron' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'introduced newts into the wilderness in tasmania' is the wordplay.
'introduced' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'newts into the wilderness in tasmania' is 'NITWIT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nitwit that I've seen before include "Blockhead" , "Informally, a foolish person, featherbrain" , "Louse egg with humour - silly fellow" , "dope" , "Silly person (colloq.)" .)
