What could transport adept dealers round Mississippi primarily?
I believe the answer is:
paddlesteamer
'what' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'transport adept dealers round mississippi primarily?' is the wordplay.
'transport' indicates anagramming the letters (each letter must be moved or 'transported').
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'primarily?' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'primarily' mean this).
The initial letter of 'mississippi' is 'm'.
'adept'+'dealers'='adeptdealers'
'adeptdealers' is an anagram of 'paddlesteaer'.
'paddlesteaer' enclosing 'm' is 'PADDLESTEAMER'.
'could' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paddlesteamer that I've seen before include "Wheel-driven vessel" , "River boat, probably" , "Ship propelled by bladed wheels" , "Boat driven by wheels" , "River boat, for example" .)
