Singer right to break wind by saxophonist's head (5)
I believe the answer is:
grass
'singer right to break wind by saxophonist's head' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'right to break wind by saxophonist's head' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to break' indicates putting letters inside.
'wind' becomes 'gas' (synonyms).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'saxophonists' is 's'.
'r' placed inside 'gas' is 'gras'.
'gras'+'s'='GRASS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grass that I've seen before include "sing?" , "Perhaps bent" , "blades" , "copper may rely on him?" , "canary, say" .)
