Siesta in Bengal maybe the best bet? (6)
I believe the answer is:
catnap
'bet?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'siesta in bengal maybe the best' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'siesta' could be 'nap' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'nap' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'best' could be 'a' and 'a' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'c' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for catnap that I've seen before include "Short sleep" , "go out briefly" , "Drop off" , "Kip" , "For a rest" .)
