I split award for being in the middle (6)
I believe the answer is:
medial
'being in the middle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i split award' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'me'.
'split award' becomes 'dial' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'me'+'dial'='MEDIAL'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for medial that I've seen is " In the middle (L, not N)".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
