Cat draws level round midnight (5)
I believe the answer is:
tiger
'cat draws' is the definition.
'tiger' can be an answer for 'cat' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'draws' bit.
'level round midnight' is the wordplay.
'level' becomes 'tier' (synonyms).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'midnight' becomes 'g' (the middle letter in 'night').
'tier' placed around 'g' is 'TIGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiger that I've seen before include "Fierce person" , "- - Woods (golf)" , "Formidable competitor" , "Large cat with black stripes" , "fierce animal" .)
