Wild dances round pole may be scrutinised (7)
I believe the answer is:
scanned
'be scrutinised' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'wild dances round pole' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'pole' becomes 'n' (abbreviation for North, as in North Pole).
'dances' anagrammed gives 'scaned'.
'scaned' placed around 'n' is 'SCANNED'.
'may' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scanned that I've seen before include "given thorough examination" , "examined closely" , "Glanced over" , "Thoroughly examined" .)
