The test has been rigged again, in a way (6)
I believe the answer is:
street
'the' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'test has been rigged again in a way' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'again' could be 're' and 're' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'test' is 'stet' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Tester (anag.)" , "Way < in which common man is" , "See 7" , "Paved road" , "Tester in public road" .)
