Six out of nine go, I stay -- one considers no one else (6)
I believe the answer is:
egoist
'six out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'nine go i stay one considers no one else' is the wordplay.
'EGOIST' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egoist that I've seen before include "A seld-centred, conceited person" , "Self-absorbed person" , "Person with very a good opinion of himself" , "Conceited and self-centred person" , "Excessively conceited person" .)
