Old boy back to fill face with duck and game (7)
I believe the answer is:
diabolo
'game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'old boy back to fill face with duck' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'old' could be 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'boy' could be 'ab' and 'ab' is present in the answer.
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'dil' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diabolo that I've seen before include "juggling performance?" , "O, bad oil is used in this game with top and sticks" , "Game involving sticks and spinning top" , "Top-on-a-string game" , "Devilish" .)
