Red US state? (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
rhode island
This might be a double definition.
'red' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'us state?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for rhode island that I've seen before include "US East coast state" , "One of the original 13 US states" , "The Ocean State, capital Providence" , "RI (US)" , "Part of America" .)
