I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'angled strike' is the definition.
'glance' can be an answer for 'strike' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'angled' bit.

'cut on back of leg' is the wordplay.
'cut' becomes 'lance' (I've seen this before).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'back of' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'leg' is 'g'.
'lance' after 'g' is 'GLANCE'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glance that I've seen before include "A brief or casual look" , "A quick sideways look" , "A dart of the eye" , "black shiny stuff" , "A passing look." .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
