Queen rejected struggle with criticism (6)
I believe the answer is:
review
'criticism' is the definition.
(I know that review is a type of criticism)
'queen rejected struggle with' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'rejected' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'struggle' becomes 'vie' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'er' written backwards gives 're'.
're'+'vie'+'w'='REVIEW'
(Other definitions for review that I've seen before include "Appraise critically" , "notice" , "Write a critique of" , "Critic's article" , "Inspection" .)
