Some masonic help gets you a suitable position in life (5)
I believe the answer is:
niche
'you a suitable position in life' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'some masonic help gets' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'NICHE' is hidden in the letters of 'masonic help gets'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for niche that I've seen before include "Suitable position (in market, life etc)" , "good spot!" , "Specialized market" , "Recess - alcove" , "Particularly suitable position" .)
