Crooked dice -- and it showed (9)
I believe the answer is:
indicated
'showed' is the definition.
('indicate' can be a synonym of 'show')
'crooked dice and it' is the wordplay.
'crooked' indicates anagramming the letters (a crooked or disrupted version of the letters).
'dice'+'and'+'it'='diceandit'
'diceandit' is an anagram of 'INDICATED'.
(Other definitions for indicated that I've seen before include "advised" , "Signalled" , "Shown" , "Pointed, showed" .)
