What's pulled wife out of bad car wreck? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cracker
'wreck?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'what's pulled wife out of bad car' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'car' is 'cra' which is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cracker that I've seen before include "Biscuit for cheese" , "fine example" , "example for solver?" , "Christmas table item" , "Biscuit - banger - brilliant one" .)
