Such characters in old ode? (3)
I believe the answer is:
odd
'such characters in' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'old ode?' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation).
'ode?' becomes 'dd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'dd'='ODD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odd that I've seen before include "Unmatched" , "Not even; strange" , "Casual" , "unlike 1984" , "Rum" .)
