Tricky situation from wild capers (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrape
'tricky situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'wild capers' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'capers' anagrammed gives 'SCRAPE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Embarrassing predicament" , "Take the surface off" , "Awkward situation - be very economical" , "Grate - predicament" , "Rub; (bow and) be humble" .)
