Looked like one runs in extra rapid final (8)
I believe the answer is:
mirrored
'looked like' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'one runs in extra rapid final' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'runs' could be 'rr' (cricket abbreviation for runs written twice) and 'rr' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mired' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for mirrored that I've seen is " Reflected".)
