Where the Syrians confuse pop with ale? (6)
I believe the answer is:
aleppo
'where the syrians' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'confuse pop with ale?' is the wordplay.
'confuse' is an anagram indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pop' with letters rearranged gives 'ppo'.
'ppo' after 'ale' is 'ALEPPO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "Foreign city" , "War-torn city of Syria" , "City in Syria - lop ape (anag)" , "Ancient city, in Syria" , "Lap Poe around the Syrian city" .)
