When taking part in basic skills regularly, A & E will become increasingly bloody (5)
I believe the answer is:
rarer
'when taking part in basic skills regularly a e will become increasingly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bloody' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bloody' could be 'rare' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rare' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rarer that I've seen before include "(Of meat) less cooked" , "Comparatively sparse" , "Stranger" , "less easy to find" , "Less often seen" .)
