Call some taxis to a house as a prank (4)
I believe the answer is:
hoax
'a prank' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'call some taxis to a' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ho' (historical exclamation used to attract attention).
'some' indicates the central letters.
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
The centre of 'taxis' is 'x'.
'x' after 'a' is 'ax'.
'ho'+'ax'='HOAX'
'house as' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoax that I've seen before include "Practical joke" , "Fake, such as Piltdown Man" , "Deceptive trick, could be malicious" , "Fool" , "Malicious act" .)
