Allege the little devil has taken every one (7)
I believe the answer is:
impeach
'allege' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'little devil has taken every one' is the wordplay.
'little devil' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this before).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'taken every one' becomes 'each' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'imp'+'each'='IMPEACH'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Bring a charge against" , "call into question" , "Charge a public official with an offence" , "Arraign, charge" , "Charge with treason, etc" .)
