Suspend player for a game (7)
I believe the answer is:
hangman
'a game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'suspend player' is the wordplay.
'suspend' becomes 'hang' (I've seen this before).
'player' becomes 'man'.
'hang'+'man'='HANGMAN'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for hangman that I've seen before include "Official executioner" , "Word-guessing game - executioner" , "He suspends" , "Word game - executioner" , "wordgame?" .)
