Doctor attending one in a game finishing early? That’s exciting (8)
I believe the answer is:
dramatic
'exciting' is the definition.
(I know that dramatic is a more specific form of the attribute exciting)
'doctor attending one in a game finishing early?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'dr' (abbreviation) and 'dr' is located in the answer.
'attending' could be 'at' (e.g. at school means attending school) and 'at' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dramatic that I've seen before include "Substantial" , "Sudden and striking" , "Sensational, theatrical" , "Like theatre" , "might be staggering" .)
