What Charlie raised when it was won? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cup
'won?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'what charlie raised when it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'charlie' could be 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'raised' could be 'up' ('up' can be similar in meaning to 'raised') and 'up' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cup that I've seen before include "Beaker" , "competition" , "Drinking bowl" , "'There's many a slip 'twixt ... and lip.'" , "Container to drink from - prize" .)
