Where miners take it quietly? (3)
I believe the answer is:
pit
'where miners' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'it quietly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found in the answer.
'quietly?' could be 'p' (p for piano and quiet) and 'p' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'take' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pit that I've seen before include "Large deep hole in the ground" , "Hellhole?" , "Tip into miners' shaft" , "Hollow" , "Cavity" .)
