Dodge a blank space (5)
I believe the answer is:
avoid
'dodge' is the definition.
(I know that dodge can be written as avoid)
'a blank space' is the wordplay.
'blank space' becomes 'void' (void is a kind of space. I am not sure about the 'blank' bit.).
'a'+'void'='AVOID'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avoid that I've seen before include "Keep out of the way of" , "(If you can't 10), keep away from" , "Shun, dodge" , "Evade - escape" , "Shy away from" .)
