State where I invested in cereal crop, wasting capital (6)
I believe the answer is:
regina
'capital' is the definition.
(Regina is an example)
'state where i invested in cereal crop wasting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'reg' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regina that I've seen before include "Something inserted" , "Queen in legal issues" , "Title of reigning Queen" , "our head of state" , "in Canada" .)
