Nothing good in remote haunt (6)
I believe the answer is:
naught
'nothing' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'good in remote haunt' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'haunt' is 'nauht' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for naught that I've seen before include "The figure O" , "Old word for nothing, sounds like zero" , "bad" , "Come to --; set at --" , "[NOT A WHIT]" .)
