Made to run by header from Lucy Bronze? (5)
I believe the answer is:
medal
'bronze?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'made to run by header from lucy' is the wordplay.
'to run' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'header from' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'lucy' is 'l'.
'made' is an anagram of 'meda'.
'meda'+'l'='MEDAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medal that I've seen before include "Award for winning" , "Lamed (anag)" , "sort of play" , "silver?" , "Decoration, award" .)
