Games for a striker? (7)
I believe the answer is:
matches
'games' is the definition.
'striker?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'striker?' could be 'match' (a match can be struck) and 'match' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'es' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matches that I've seen before include "ties" , "Picks out for union potential" , "Sporting occasions" , "Shares a colour with" , "Agrees" .)
