Right inside cubicle built in snooker theatre (8)
I believe the answer is:
crucible
'snooker theatre' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'right inside cubicle built' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'built' indicates anagramming the letters (the same letters can be used to build the answer).
'cubicle' with letters rearranged gives 'cucible'.
'r' put within 'cucible' is 'CRUCIBLE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crucible that I've seen before include "smelting vessel" , "Pot in which metals are melted" , "Vessel for molten metal" , "Miller's bewitching play" , "Melting-pot" .)
