twist

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

'another card please' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'spades in dummy' is the wordplay.
'spades' becomes 's' (abbreviation in card games).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dummy' becomes 'twit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
's' going within 'twit' is 'TWIST'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twist that I've seen before include "Unexpected event" , "Rotate -- dance" , "Wring" , "One who asked for more" , "Embellishment to plot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
