Most solvers will sort out these little beasts (5)
I believe the answer is:
voles
'beasts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for voles that I've seen is " Mouse-like rodents found in fields and meadows".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
