Not in the same class? (9)
I believe the answer is:
different
'not' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'the same class?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'class?' could be 're' (Religious Education, school subject) and 're' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for different that I've seen before include "Dissimilar, unlike" , "Unusual" , "Distinct, separate" , "Otherwise" .)
