Pretend not to see the score (3)
I believe the answer is:
cut
'score' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pretend not to see' is the wordplay.
'pretend not' becomes 'ut' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'ut' after 'c' is 'CUT'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "Make an incision" , "Wound" , "Reduce; joint (of meat)" , "Excise" , "Slice, chop" .)
