Spun some corn, except inside bowls (5)
I believe the answer is:
bocce
'bowls' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'spun some corn except inside' is the wordplay.
'spun' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'some corn' becomes 'cob' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'inside' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'except' is 'ce'.
'cob' backwards is 'boc'.
'boc'+'ce'='BOCCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bocce that I've seen before include "Italian form of bowls" , "Italian game" .)
