Not the same fellows I rented out accommodation to (9)
I believe the answer is:
different
'not the same' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fellows i rented out accommodation to' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fellows' could be 'ff' and 'ff' is found in the answer.
'i' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'rented' is 'derent' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for different that I've seen before include "Unusual" , "Dissimilar, unlike" , "Distinct, separate" , "Otherwise" .)
