Busy worker holds quiz on cruise as deck entertainment? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bezique
'deck entertainment?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'busy worker holds quiz on cruise' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'quiz' is 'ziqu' which is within the answer.
'worker' could be 'bee' (I've seen this before) and 'bee' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bezique that I've seen before include "Card game, resembles whist" , "Card-game" , "Card game with two packs of cards from seven to ace" , "Card game resembling whist" , "Sixty four card game" .)
