In darts, regularly inspired by drinks, we raise game (7)
I believe the answer is:
beaters
'in darts' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'regularly inspired by drinks we raise game' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is present in the answer.
'drinks' could be 'beers' (beer is a kind of drink) and 'beers' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for beaters that I've seen is " They rouse up game".)
