Who pulls strings when attempting to hit targets? (6)
I believe the answer is:
archer
'who' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archer that I've seen before include "Missile launcher" , "man with weapon" , "stars" , "Character in radio series" , "Arrows one sends" .)
