Name the six-footer in front (5)
I believe the answer is:
anton
'front' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'name the six-footer in' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'Ann'.
'the six footer' becomes 'to' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'ann' going around 'to' is 'ANTON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anton that I've seen before include "-- Chekhov, Russian dramatist" , "Chekhov maybe" , "- Chekhov, playwright" , "Boy" , "..... Chekov" .)
