Nevertheless, a hostel has opened today (6)
I believe the answer is:
anyhow
'nevertheless' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a hostel has opened today' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anyhow that I've seen before include "Whatever's happened" , "Not in an orderly manner, by whatever means" , "In spite of what has been said" , "Haphazardly" , "In a muddle" .)
