Rogues in front of shed behind house (8)
I believe the answer is:
villains
'rogues' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in front of shed behind house' is the wordplay.
'front of' says to take the initial letters (the letter at the front of the word).
'behind' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'house' becomes 'villa' (villa is a kind of house).
The first letter of 'shed' is 's'.
'in'+'s'='ins'
'ins' put after 'villa' is 'VILLAINS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for villains that I've seen before include "Baddies" , "Scoundrels, miscreants" , "Wicked people" .)
