Make a scene at closing time, just in case (6)
I believe the answer is:
create
'make a scene' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'closing time just in case' is the wordplay.
'closing time just' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'case' becomes 'crate' (crating is a kind of casing).
'e' inserted inside 'crate' is 'CREATE'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for create that I've seen before include "make a scene" , "Compose" , "Concoct" , "Devise" , "Bring into existence" .)
