Strange puzzle today. Wondered if there was a theme. I missed it if there was.

I would imagine spin; s for square, pin for leg

Thank you AJT - I suppose spin can mean run out so I'll go with it.

Must be spin as in s(square), pin(leg). Definition seems a little stretched to me. Chambers has spin as draw out or lengthen as the closest to run out.

I think Spin as 'go for a spin' - a run out!

It felt like a Rufus puzzle to me, far too many anagrams for my taste. But all forgiven by the inclusion of 25a!
