Played (with) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toyed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">played with</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for toyed that I've seen before include "Played" , "Acted idly" , "was trifling" , "Trifled (with someone's affections)" , "Engaged in an activity, but not seriously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal and the Newsday.
