The Bench? (4,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
seat of honour
'the' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'bench?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bench?' could be 'seat' (bench is a kind of seat) and 'seat' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
