Playground item has no left or right, say (4)
I believe the answer is:
side
'right say' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'playground item has no left' is the wordplay.
'playground item' becomes 'slide' (I've seen this in another clue).
'has no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'slide' with 'l' taken out is 'SIDE'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "Edge - aspect - team" , "pretentious attitude" , "This effect is secondary" , "Aspect, sports team" , "camp" .)
