Grazed back of head after tricky situation (7)
I believe the answer is:
scraped
'grazed back' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'head after tricky situation' is the wordplay.
'head' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tricky situation' becomes 'scrape' (I've seen this in another clue).
'd' after 'scrape' is 'SCRAPED'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scraped that I've seen before include "Slightly damaged" , "Grazed; scratched" , "Abraded" .)
