Cuts and runs? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scores
This clue might be a double definition.
'cuts' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'runs?' is the second definition.
(run is a kind of score)
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scores that I've seen before include "Scratches" , "Sets of twenty" , "Gains game points" , "Written forms of a musical composition" , "Obtains marks, say" .)
