Angled and he'd caught fish (6)
I believe the answer is:
heeled
'angled' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'he'd caught fish' is the wordplay.
'caught' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fish' becomes 'eel' (eel is a type of fish).
'hed' going around 'eel' is 'HEELED'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heeled that I've seen before include "Be well shod thus to have money" , "Most shoes are" , "Played the part of a hooker" , "Leant over" , "listed" .)
