Played tricks that made one look small (7)
I believe the answer is:
stunted
'small' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'played tricks that made one look' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stunted that I've seen before include "Undersized" , "Retarded in growth" , "Dwarfed, limited" .)
