Where water enters tenanted pub we're told? (5)
I believe the answer is:
inlet
'where water' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'enters tenanted pub we're told?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'tenanted' could be 'let' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'let' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inlet that I've seen before include "Arm of lake, river" , "Mouth of creek" , "One's up the creek here" , "Entry; arm of the sea" , "Small arm of the sea" .)
