Allures and draws at stretches of land (8)
I believe the answer is:
attracts
'allures and draws' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'at stretches of land' is the wordplay.
'stretches of land' becomes 'tracts' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at'+'tracts'='ATTRACTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attracts that I've seen before include "Draws, pulls in" , "Draws attention to" , "Draws towards as magnet does iron" , "Appeals to or draws towards" , "Has a magnetic effect" .)
