Where canoes may be in trouble? (6)
I believe the answer is:
oceans
'be in trouble?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and 'trouble?' are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun.
'where canoes' is the wordplay.
'where' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'canoes' anagrammed gives 'OCEANS'.
'may' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oceans that I've seen before include "Strange canoes on these waters" , "Large seas" , "Arctic and Indian" , "Bodies of salt water" , "Great seas" .)
