Works for degrees? The ones here have point (6)
I believe the answer is:
theses
'works for degrees?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.
'the ones here have point' is the wordplay.
'the ones here' becomes 'these' (I've seen this in another clue).
'have' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'point' becomes 'S' (S is an example).
'these'+'s'='THESES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for theses that I've seen before include "Premises" , "Degree dissertations" , "Essays on a theme" , "Academic dissertations" .)
