Spilt ginger-beer, perhaps, in a vehicle (7)
I believe the answer is:
slopped
'spilt' is the definition.
('slop' can be a synonym of 'spill')
'ginger-beer perhaps in a vehicle' is the wordplay.
'ginger-beer perhaps' becomes 'opp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'a vehicle' becomes 'sled' (sled is a kind of vehicle).
'opp' inserted inside 'sled' is 'SLOPPED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
