School year's separating in games - daughter's excited (7)
I believe the answer is:
psyched
'excited' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'school year's separating in games daughter's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'school' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is found in the answer.
'year' could be 'y' and 'y' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for psyched that I've seen before include "frightened" , "Prepared" .)
