Sassy redhead admitted playing with fire? (9)
I believe the answer is:
imprudent
'playing with fire?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'sassy redhead admitted' is the wordplay.
'sassy' becomes 'impudent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'redhead' becomes 'r' (head letter of 'red').
'admitted' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are admitted in).
'impudent' enclosing 'r' is 'IMPRUDENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imprudent that I've seen before include "not wise" , "'making the wrong choices'?" , "Rash, lacking discretion" , "Unwise" , "Lacking in good sense or caution" .)
