Match short, suggesting cheat? (6-5)
I believe the answer is:
double cross
'cheat?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'match short' is the wordplay.
'match' becomes 'double' (double can mean a match or copy).
'short' becomes 'cross' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'double'+'cross'='DOUBLE-CROSS'
'suggesting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for double cross that I've seen before include "Sell down the river" , "Swindle" , "Deceive supposed ally" , "Cheat - betray" , "Betray -- XX?" .)
