Tricky manoeuvre's skill whenever on skating rink, say (8)
I believe the answer is:
artifice
'tricky manoeuvre's' is the definition.
'artifice' can be an answer for 'manoeuvre's' (artifice is a kind of manoeuvre). I am not sure about the 'tricky' bit.
'skill whenever on skating rink say' is the wordplay.
'skill' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'whenever' becomes 'if' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'skating rink say' becomes 'ice' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'art'+'if'+'ice'='ARTIFICE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for artifice that I've seen before include "Ingenious stratagem" , "Trick, device" , "BRICK/TRICK" , "skilful deception" , "Clever device" .)
