See trivia as a mixture of different items (9)
I believe the answer is:
varieties
'different items' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'see trivia as a mixture' is the wordplay.
'see trivia' can be anagrammed to 'VARIETIES'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for varieties that I've seen before include "Assortments, mixtures" , "one used to find in a palace?" , "Types" , "classes" , "All sorts" .)
