Crossword Genius

CD area wrecked in passageway (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arcade

'passageway' is the definition.
(I know that arcade is a type of passageway)

'cd area wrecked' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cd'+'area'='cdarea'
'cdarea' anagrammed gives 'ARCADE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for arcade that I've seen before include "Shops in row" , "shopping precinct" , "area of gaming" , "Covered passage with shops on both sides" , "shopping area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
