Is it after a goal, in rugby, that one is scored? (3)
I believe the answer is:
hit
'rugby that one is scored?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'is it after a goal' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a goal' becomes 'h' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'it' put after 'h' is 'HIT'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hit that I've seen before include "Successful record" , "A theatrical success" , "turkey? No" , "dose of illegal drug" , "Visit to website" .)
