Winger using craft to block a feeble shot (4-6,3)
I believe the answer is:
leaf-cutter bee
'winger' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'craft to block a feeble shot' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'craft' could be 'cutter' (cutter is a kind of craft) and 'cutter' is found within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'feeble' is 'lefbee' which is located in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'using' is the link.
