Game involving rope and flag (8)
I believe the answer is:
leapfrog
'game' is the definition.
(I know that leapfrog is a type of child\\u0027s game)
'involving rope and flag' is the wordplay.
'involving' is an anagram indicator.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'rope' after 'flag' is 'flagrope'.
'flagrope' with letters rearranged gives 'LEAPFROG'.
(Other definitions for leapfrog that I've seen before include "Overtake in position" , "Vaulting game" , "Game in which one child jumps over another" , "Child's game of jumping over competitors" , "Jump over" .)
