Stolen game cooked - a bit knotty! (10)
I believe the answer is:
tanglesome
'a bit knotty' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'stolen game cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'stolen'+'game'='stolengame'
'stolengame' is an anagram of 'TANGLESOME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
