“Scram!” – A Crossword Clue That’s Not So Easy to Dismiss

So, how did I go about solving this particular crossword clue? Well, let’s just say it involved a bit of brainpower, a pinch of intuition, and maybe a tiny bit of frustration. But in the end, I managed to crack the code.
Stay tuned as I break down the reasoning behind this specific clue and how I arrived at the answer.
