Angry glower after a hand is cut (5)
I believe the answer is:
riled
'angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'glower after a hand is cut' is the wordplay.
'glower' becomes 'led' (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a hand' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for right, as in the right-hand side).
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'r'+'is'='ris'
'ris' with its final letter removed is 'ri'.
'led' after 'ri' is 'RILED'.
(Other definitions for riled that I've seen before include "get angry" , "Nettled" , "Made angry" , "Vexed" , "Cross" .)
