Man twisting every character in some poetry (6)
I believe the answer is:
stanza
'some poetry' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'man twisting every character' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'stan' ().
'twisting' says the letters should be written backwards (letters twist back).
'every character' becomes 'az' (every letter (character) from A to Z).
'az' reversed gives 'za'.
'stan'+'za'='STANZA'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stanza that I've seen before include "Group of lines in a poem, play, etc" , "Lines often repeated" , "Lines forming a unit of verse" , "Part of a poem" , "Poetic verse" .)
