Scott’s problem? Dashing to be first (9)
I believe the answer is:
frostbite
'scott's problem?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'dashing to be first' is the wordplay.
'dashing' indicates anagramming the letters (dash can mean hit or destroy).
'to'+'be'+'first'='tobefirst'
'tobefirst' is an anagram of 'FROSTBITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frostbite that I've seen before include "Injury arising from intense cold" , "Destruction of tissue caused by extreme cold" , "Arctic danger" , "hazard faced by explorer?" , "Cold symptom" .)
