Putting one's cards on the table twice? (6-7)
I believe the answer is:
double-dealing
'putting one's cards' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'on the table twice?' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the table' becomes 'dealing' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'twice?' becomes 'double' ('double' can be a synonym of 'twice').
'dealing' put after 'double' is 'DOUBLE-DEALING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for double-dealing that I've seen before include "Deceitful" , "Duplicity" .)
