Hit twenty, followed by 500 (6)
I believe the answer is:
scored
'hit twenty followed by 500' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'twenty followed by 500' is the wordplay.
'twenty' becomes 'score' (synonyms).
'followed by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'500' becomes 'D' (Roman numeral for 500).
'score'+'d'='SCORED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scored that I've seen before include "Coders (anag)" , "Wrote 8 -- made marks on the surface" , "Got a goal" , "ran" , "Made runs" .)
