Forgot to run? Lent a googly (8)
I believe the answer is:
unlearnt
'forgot' is the definition.
'run? lent a googly' is the wordplay.
'googly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'run'+'lent'+'a'='runlenta'
'runlenta' is an anagram of 'UNLEARNT'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Another definition for unlearnt that I've seen is " Disregarded".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
