Stops Shakespeare's Peter being heard? (6)
I believe the answer is:
quints
'stops' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for quints that I've seen is " Fifths in music: sequences of five cards in piquet".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
