Nevada location where nobody embraces! (4)
I believe the answer is:
reno
'nevada' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'location where nobody embraces' is the wordplay.
'embraces' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'embraced' mean this).
'RENO' is hidden in the letters of 'location where nobody'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reno that I've seen before include "City in Nevada known for casinos and easy divorces" , "American city" , "Nevadan city" , "Nevada city of Nero" , "City in Nevada known for gambling and easy marriage/divorce" .)
