Sparkler in use, weirdly, around Quebec (6)
I believe the answer is:
sequin
'sparkler' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in use weirdly around quebec' is the wordplay.
'weirdly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'quebec' becomes 'Q' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in'+'use'='inuse'
'inuse' is an anagram of 'seuin'.
'seuin' going around 'q' is 'SEQUIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sequin that I've seen before include "small ornamental circle" , "Shiny decoration for clothes" , "Decorative spangle" , "Shiny piece to decorate garment" , "Small circular spangle for ornamenting clothing" .)
