Parisian runs into troubled Dane (5)
I believe the answer is:
andre
'parisian' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'runs into troubled dane' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'dane' is an anagram of 'ande'.
'r' going inside 'ande' is 'ANDRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for andre that I've seen before include "Pop singer and reality TV star" , "Name of pianist" , "Australian who sings" , "- Previn; - Gide" , "- Previn, conductor" .)
