New way to carve ham (7)
I believe the answer is:
overact
'ham' is the definition.
(ham can mean to overact)
'new way to carve' is the wordplay.
'to carve' can be anagrammed to 'OVERACT'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overact that I've seen before include "Be unsubtle on stage" , "Cartoon twenty four across" , "Play role exaggeratedly" , "Exaggeratedly perform a role" , "behave exaggeratedly" .)
