Stunts for marketing a North Korean first strike (6)
I believe the answer is:
pranks
'stunts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'marketing a north korean first strike' is the wordplay.
'marketing' becomes 'pr' (abbreviation for public relations).
'north korean' becomes 'nk' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'first strike' becomes 's' (nst letter of 'strike').
'pr'+'a'+'nk'+'s'='PRANKS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pranks that I've seen before include "Practical jokes, pieces of mischief" , "Tricky things to play" , "Tricks" , "Jokes, capers" .)
