Cuts corners to quickly read front page and sports on the back (6)
I believe the answer is:
skimps
'cuts corners' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'quickly read front page and sports on the back' is the wordplay.
'quickly read' becomes 'skim' (I've seen this before).
'front' says to take the initial letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'sports on the back' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letter of 'page' is 'p'.
'skim'+'p'+'s'='SKIMPS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skimps that I've seen before include "Uses less in order to economise" , "Uses less than is needed, cuts down on usage (6)" , "Economises" , "Works hastily or carelessly" , "Cuts corners" .)
