Crossword Genius

Drew key Dan forged (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yanked

'drew' is the definition.
(yanking is a kind of drawing)

'key dan forged' is the wordplay.
'forged' indicates an anagram.
'key'+'dan'='keydan'
'keydan' anagrammed gives 'YANKED'.

(Other definitions for yanked that I've seen before include "Tugged sharply at" , "Pulled hard at, gave sudden tug" , "Jerked vigorously" , "Pulled sharply" , "Pulled with sudden sharp tug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
