Stroke upset reindeer, one making sound with hooves? (3-6)
I believe the answer is:
tap dancer
'one making sound with hooves?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'stroke upset reindeer' is the wordplay.
'stroke' becomes 'pat' (pat can mean to stroke or touch).
'upset' says the letters should be written backwards.
'reindeer' becomes 'dancer' (name of one of Santa Claus reindeer).
'pat' written backwards gives 'tap'.
'tap'+'dancer'='TAP-DANCER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tap dancer that I've seen before include "Performer good on wooden stage" , "Astaire was one" , "Entertainer needing floorboards" , "Heel and toe clicker?" , "Entertainer with special shoes" .)
