Missed kick, as one may observe on a blistering day? (7)
I believe the answer is:
airshot
'missed kick as one may observe' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'on a blistering day?' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'a blistering' becomes 'hot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'day?' becomes 'airs' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hot' put after 'airs' is 'AIRSHOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
