A burden, clue unlike this? (6)
I believe the answer is:
across
'unlike this?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a burden' is the wordplay.
'burden' becomes 'cross' (someone's particular burden is their cross).
'a'+'cross'='ACROSS'
'clue' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for across that I've seen before include "Facing" , "From one side to another" , "...this is 'Number Ten'" , "From side to side, like this clue" , "ax" .)
