Marry king for part of wedding cake? (4)
I believe the answer is:
tier
'part of wedding cake?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'marry king' is the wordplay.
'marry' becomes 'tie' (synonyms).
'king' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for rex, king in Latin).
'tie'+'r'='TIER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tier that I've seen before include "Bank - row" , "Row in theatre" , "'Level, grade (4)'" , "range" , "Rite (anag.)" .)
