Game to put money on bacon? (10)
I believe the answer is:
backgammon
'game' is the definition.
(backgammon is a kind of game)
'put money on bacon?' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'kgam' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'money' becomes 'm' (abbreviation used in economics).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kgam'+'m'='kgamm'
'kgamm' placed within 'bacon' is 'BACKGAMMON'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for backgammon that I've seen before include "Game with 24 points" , "Board game for two players" , "Board game played with dice" , "sedentary activity" , "Dice and counter game" .)
