How players make light of a match? (6)
I believe the answer is:
strike
'make light of a match?' is the definition.
'strike' can be an answer for 'make' (striking is a kind of making). I'm not sure about the 'light of a match?' bit.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strike that I've seen before include "Hit sharply" , "mint" , "Hit or take industrial action" , "Do this while the iron is hot" , "Make a sudden large financial gain" .)
