Wheels turn before reaching a different place (9)
I believe the answer is:
elsewhere
'reaching a different place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'wheels turn before' is the wordplay.
'turn' indicates anagramming the letters.
'before' becomes 'ere' (poetic term for 'before').
'wheels' anagrammed gives 'elsewh'.
'elsewh'+'ere'='ELSEWHERE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elsewhere that I've seen before include "different places" , "In a different place" , "different position" , "Not at home" , "abroad?" .)
