They accept skater in trouble (6)
I believe the answer is:
takers
'they accept' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'skater in trouble' is the wordplay.
'in trouble' indicates an anagram.
'skater' is an anagram of 'TAKERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for takers that I've seen is " Captors".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
