Wildly throw a scare about a race (7)
I believe the answer is:
scatter
'wildly throw a scare about a race' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'throw a scare about a race' is the wordplay.
'throw' is an anagram indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a race' becomes 'tt'.
'scare' anagrammed gives 'scaer'.
'scaer' placed around 'tt' is 'SCATTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scatter that I've seen before include "Disperse, thrown around" , "Strew over an area" , "Throw loosely about" , "Broadcast" , "Distribute loosely" .)
