US citizen in trio wanting houses (5)
I believe the answer is:
iowan
'us citizen' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in trio wanting houses' is the wordplay.
'houses' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue houses the answer).
'IOWAN' can be found hidden inside 'in trio wanting'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iowan that I've seen before include "From one US state" , "From a US state, capital Des Moines" , "US resident" , "From Des Moines, say?" , "One from Des Moines perhaps" .)
