Like the biography of the man who played snooker? (6)
I believe the answer is:
potted
'played snooker?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
I also know that 'snooker' relates to this answer.
'like the biography of the man' is the wordplay.
'like the biography' becomes 'p' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'man' becomes 'Ted' (Ted is a man's name).
'p'+'o'+'t'+'ted'='POTTED'
'who' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for potted that I've seen before include "Sank (a snooker ball)" , "Condensed or summarised, like plant in container" , "Summarized or abridged" , "Abridged, or planted in small container" , "Abridged, like TD poet" .)
