Winger turned, ran and moved like this? (8)
I believe the answer is:
dribbled
'moved like this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'winger turned ran' is the wordplay.
'winger' becomes 'bird' ().
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'ran' becomes 'bled' ('bleed' can be a synonym of 'run').
'bird' written backwards gives 'drib'.
'drib'+'bled'='DRIBBLED'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dribbled that I've seen is " Drooled".)
