Confused a year with less time (3)
I believe the answer is:
day
'less time' is the definition.
'day' can be an answer for 'time' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'less' bit.
'confused a year with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DAY' is hidden in the letters of 'confused a year'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for day that I've seen before include "24 hours" , "24 hour period" , "Twenty-four hours" , "Particular date" , "Doris -, US actress" .)
