Sports periodical turns up on Wednesdays -- central points being significant (5)
I believe the answer is:
games
'sports' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'periodical turns up on wednesdays central points being significant' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'points' could be 'es' (E is an example) and 'es' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gam' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for games that I've seen before include "Such as football, snap, etc" , "School sports" , "Favourite lessons" , "See 12" , "Events collectively" .)
