Silly trick in PE leaves one in critical condition (3-6)
I believe the answer is:
nit-picker
'one in critical condition' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'silly trick in pe' is the wordplay.
'silly' is an anagram indicator.
'trick'+'in'+'pe'='trickinpe'
'trickinpe' is an anagram of 'NIT-PICKER'.
'leaves' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
