Where to shoot duck in the W. Indies (6)
I believe the answer is:
tobago
'the w indies' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'w indies' relates to this answer.
'where to shoot duck' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'shoot' could be 'bag' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'bag' is present in the answer.
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tobago that I've seen before include "Island in West Indies" , "Trinidad and - (WI)" , "Island paired with Trinidad" , "West Indian island" , "Trinidad companion island" .)
