Intrigue (6)
I believe the answer is:
scheme
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">intrigue</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that intrigue can be written as scheme)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for scheme that I've seen before include "Secret plan, plot" , "Program" , "Plan - intrigue" , "Lay plans" , "Plan (maybe best laid?)" .)
