Charm a number to break a rule with bait (6)
I believe the answer is:
allure
'bait' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'charm a number to break a rule' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'number' could be 'l' (L is an example) and 'l' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'rule' is 'lure' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for allure that I've seen before include "Entice; appeal" , "Charm, magnetism" , "Entice or attract - sounds like a decoy" , "Glamorous appeal" , "Seduce" .)
