Didn't succeed in crossing the ice? (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
fell through
'crossing the ice?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can sometimes define each other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
