Score also announced for every player on football field? (6-3)
I believe the answer is:
twenty-two
'every player on football field?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'score also announced for' is the wordplay.
'score' becomes 'twenty' (synonyms).
'also' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'announced' shows a homophone (sound like).
'for' becomes 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of').
'to' is a homophone of 'two'.
'twenty'+'two'='TWENTY-TWO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twenty-two that I've seen before include "Line on rugby pitch; number" , "One more than this clue number" , "mark made on pitch" , "Two football teams" , "Number of "catch" by American humorous writer" .)
