Picking scene where killer gets tough? (7)
I believe the answer is:
orchard
'picking scene' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'killer gets tough?' is the wordplay.
'killer' becomes 'orc' (I've seen this before).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tough?' becomes 'hard' ('hard' can be a synonym of 'tough').
'orc'+'hard'='ORCHARD'
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orchard that I've seen before include "Fruit grove" , "Plot for fruit trees" , "Fruit-tree plot" , "Small cultivated wood" , "Where fruit trees are grown" .)
