Obtained runs, notably with the cut? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scored
'obtained runs' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how they can define each other.
'notably with the cut?' is the wordplay.
'notably' becomes 'd' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'the cut?' becomes 'score' (I've seen this before).
'd' put after 'score' is 'SCORED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scored that I've seen before include "Put ball in net - made deep groove" , "Wrote 8 -- made marks on the surface" , "Got a goal" , "Put the ball in the net, or scratched" , "Marked" .)
