The searchers include a soldier (6)
I believe the answer is:
archer
'a soldier' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'the searchers include' is the wordplay.
'include' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARCHER' is hidden within 'searchers'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archer that I've seen before include "Missile launcher" , "Small insect" , "more sly?" , "A 19 lord - old soldier" , "Irish parliament" .)
