The ramshackle hole Victor's in? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hovel
'in?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'the ramshackle hole victor's' is the wordplay.
'the ramshackle' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'victor' becomes 'V' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'hole'+'v'='holev'
'holev' anagrammed gives 'HOVEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hovel that I've seen before include "Mean dwelling" , "dump" , "Ramshackle dwelling" , "Slum dwelling" , "A wretched little dwelling" .)
