Practical characters at Hungary's borders? (5)
I believe the answer is:
handy
'practical' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'characters at hungary's borders?' is the wordplay.
'characters' becomes 'andy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'borders?' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'border' mean this).
The first letter of 'hungary' is 'h'.
'andy' after 'h' is 'HANDY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for handy that I've seen before include "quite useful" , "Useful - competent" , "Convenient; skilful" , "Accessible" , "Dexterous" .)
