Where to egg on the Surrey team (4)
I believe the answer is:
oval
'the surrey team' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'where to egg' is the wordplay.
'where' becomes 'val' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'val' put after 'o' is 'OVAL'.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oval that I've seen before include "Easter gift" , "London cricket-ground" , "Where you'll find pavilion" , "Where a duck may be broken" , "Where England regained the Ashes" .)
