Check as correct with one hand in resort (5)
I believe the answer is:
trick
This clue could be a double definition.
'check as correct with one hand' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'resort' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trick that I've seen before include "Stratagem to take at cards" , "Strategem" , "Point gained in bridge - a deception?" , "Fool" , "stunt" .)
