Psst? Real problem with church collections! (8)
I believe the answer is:
psalters
'church collections' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'psst? real problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates an anagram.
'psst'+'real'='psstreal'
'psstreal' with letters rearranged gives 'PSALTERS'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for psalters that I've seen before include "Books of Psalms" , "liturgical books" , "Versions of the Book of Psalms" , "religious books" .)
