They shoot horses? (5)
I believe the answer is:
colts
This might be a double definition.
'they' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'shoot horses?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for colts that I've seen before include "Young male horses" , "Young stallions" , "young players" .)
