Game makes you get cross (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
contract bridge
'game' is the definition.
(contract bridge is a card game)
'get cross' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'get' could be 'contract' (synonyms) and 'contract' is located in the answer.
'cross' could be 'bridge' (bridging is a kind of crossing) and 'bridge' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'makes you' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for contract bridge that I've seen before include "that requires two pairs of hands" , "Quartet play this" , "Instruction for nose job, perhaps" , "Wherein four deck hands" , "Card game" .)
