One providing money for playing spoons right (7)
I believe the answer is:
sponsor
'one providing money' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'playing spoons right' is the wordplay.
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'spoons' anagrammed gives 'sponso'.
'sponso'+'r'='SPONSOR'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sponsor that I've seen before include "Patron; promote" , "Angel" , "Patron or godparent" , "Promoter; funder" , "advertising?" .)
