Which ones took top stockings? (5)
I believe the answer is:
those
'which ones' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'took top stockings?' is the wordplay.
'top' indicates taking the first letters.
'stockings?' becomes 'hose' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'took' is 't'.
't'+'hose'='THOSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for those that I've seen before include "Plural form of that" , "the more far out?" , "Ethos (anag.)" , "Nostalgic utterance" , "The ones farther away" .)
