Ring for a machine to do laundry? (6)
I believe the answer is:
washer
'ring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'machine to do laundry?' is the wordplay.
'machine' becomes 'er' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'do laundry?' becomes 'wash' (I've seen this in another clue).
'er' after 'wash' is 'WASHER'.
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for washer that I've seen before include "Flattened ring that keeps nuts secure" , "Tap seal" , "Laundry machine" , "Joint-sealing ring" , "Ring under a nut" .)
