When some of us have a dice game, there are fights (6)
I believe the answer is:
scraps
'are fights' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'when some of us have a dice game' is the wordplay.
'when some of us' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'have' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a dice game' becomes 'craps' (I've seen this before).
's'+'craps'='SCRAPS'
'there' is the link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scraps that I've seen before include "Discarded pieces of food" , "Small pieces left over" , "Oddments - fights" , "Remnants" , "thrown away?" .)
