Second person lost the form about hospital and boarding house (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
youth hostel
'boarding house' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'second person lost the form about hospital' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'second' could be 's' (common abbreviation) and 's' is located in the answer.
'person' could be 'youth' (youth is a kind of person) and 'youth' is present in the answer.
'lost' could be 'l' (abbreviation in sporting league tables) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
'hospital' could be 'h' (abbreviation for hospital on maps) and 'h' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'oe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
