Sorter’s work to find nice places (7)
I believe the answer is:
resorts
'nice places' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'sorter's work' is the wordplay.
'work' indicates an anagram.
'sorters' anagrammed gives 'RESORTS'.
'to find' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resorts that I've seen before include "Holiday destinations" , "Holiday towns" , "Uses" , "Brings into play: getaway spots" , "Blackpool and Brighton, say" .)
