Manage deviously to get over Republican dispute (7)
I believe the answer is:
wrangle
'dispute' is the definition.
(I know that wrangle is a type of dispute)
'manage deviously to get over republican' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'republican' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'manage' could be 'wangle' (synonyms) and 'wangle' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wrangle that I've seen before include "Fight" , "Noisy dispute" , "Altercation" , "row" , "Complicated dispute" .)
