Avoids dodgy duels at closing time (6)
I believe the answer is:
eludes
'avoids' is the definition.
(eluding is a kind of avoiding)
'dodgy duels at closing time' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' indicates an anagram.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'closing time' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'duels' with letters rearranged gives 'ludes'.
'ludes' put after 'e' is 'ELUDES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eludes that I've seen before include "Escapes skilfully from, avoids" , "Escapes, baffles" , "Escapes skilfully from, evades capture" , "Gets away from" , "Dodges, escapes skilfully from" .)
