Levels the score (6)
I believe the answer is:
points
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'levels' is the first definition.
('point' can be a synonym of 'level')
'score' is the second definition.
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for points that I've seen before include "Directions on compass" , "Precise locations" , "Decimal dots" , "Indicates a direction" , "Indicates using finger" .)
