State position for singer (5)
I believe the answer is:
kylie
'singer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'state position' is the wordplay.
'state' becomes 'ky' (US abbreviation for Kentucky).
'position' becomes 'lie' (lie can mean to place or position).
'ky'+'lie'='KYLIE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kylie that I've seen before include "Aussie singer" , "returning missile" , "-- Minogue, Australian singer" , "Type of boomerang" , "Dannii M's older sister" .)
