Was he hunted by Attila? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ted
'attila?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'was he hunted' is the wordplay.
'TED' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ted that I've seen before include "The familiar American Senator Kennedy" , "Heath or Danson?" , "Turnover and spread (hay)" , "Father ..., Dermot Morgan's TV creation" , "Man's name; make hay" .)
