Daily forced to ditch front cover in farcical event (7)

I believe the answer is:

charade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ditch front cover in farcical event' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'daily forced' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'char' (I've seen this before).
'forced' becomes 'ade' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'char'+'ade'='CHARADE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for charade that I've seen before include "Word-guessing riddle" , "Acted riddle - pretence" , "An absurd pretence, or a guessing game" , "Absurd pretence to create a good impression" , "Blatant deception" .)
