Handed (out) (5)

I think it could be either:

dealt

doled

'handed out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dealt that I've seen before include "Distributed playing cards" , "Gave out playing cards" , "Carried out business" , "Dispensed (cards)" , "Traded" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Penny Press, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Universal.
