King spotting game likely to crack? (6)
I believe the answer is:
crispy
'game likely to crack?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'king spotting' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'CR' (short for Carolus Rex, King Charles in Latin).
'spotting' becomes 'ispy' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cr'+'ispy'='CRISPY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crispy that I've seen before include "Tender and brittle" , "Crunchy, brittle" , "Dry, brittle" , "being invigorating" .)
