Ruddy crude stand-up initially does sketch again (7)
I believe the answer is:
redraws
'does sketch again' is the definition.
(draws for a second time)
'ruddy crude stand-up' is the wordplay.
'ruddy' becomes 'red' (synonyms).
'crude' becomes 'raw' (synonyms).
'stand-up' becomes 's' (this could be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'red'+'raw'+'s'='REDRAWS'
'initially' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
