I get into wagons and circle around as planned (9)
I believe the answer is:
strategic
'planned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'i get into wagons and circle around' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'get' is 'teg' which is located in the answer.
'around' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strategic that I've seen before include "Tactical" , "Of long-term planning" , "Relating to long-term plans" , "Forming part of a long-term plan" , "To do with a carefully workedout plan of action" .)
