Wrong number is too much for African native (3)
I believe the answer is:
gnu
'african native' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'wrong number is too much' is the wordplay.
'is too much' indicates a hidden word (only some letters needed - the rest are 'too much').
'GNU' is hidden in the letters of 'wrong number'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gnu that I've seen before include "hitherto unknown, we hear" , "animals" , "Large heavy antelope" , "Gun to get antelope" , "Strange gun for an antelope" .)
