Their husbands are late, extra hands of cards? (6)

I believe the answer is:

widows

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'their husbands are late' is the first definition.
(late can mean dead)

'extra hands of cards?' is the second definition.
(widow can mean an extra hand in some card games)

(Other definitions for widows that I've seen before include "Their husbands are deceased" , "women left behind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
