Accommodation for some honest soldiers (5)
I believe the answer is:
nests
'accommodation for some honest soldiers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'some honest soldiers' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'NESTS' is hidden in the letters of 'honest soldiers'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nests that I've seen before include "Settles comfortably into, as birds do" , "Places to rear the young?" , "Bird structures" , "Eyries" , "Tables made to fit closely together" .)
