Recovers from wreck in Las Vegas? (8)
I believe the answer is:
salvages
'recovers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'wreck in las vegas?' is the wordplay.
'las vegas' can be anagrammed to 'SALVAGES'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salvages that I've seen before include "Saves from fire in Las Vegas" , "dry Eliot piece" , "Rescues" , "Saves discarded material" .)
