An employer's gambit? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ploy
'gambit?' is the definition.
(I know that gambit can be written as ploy)
'an employer's' is the wordplay.
'PLOY' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ploy that I've seen before include "Ruse, stratagem" , "Cunning manoeuvre to gain advantage" , "Ruse or gimmick" , "Cunning tactic" , "Tactical scheme" .)
