Crook — bit like I might clue it? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bandit
'crook' is the definition.
(bandit is a kind of crook)
'bit like i might clue it?' is the wordplay.
'bit like i might clue' becomes 'band' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'band'+'it'='BANDIT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bandit that I've seen before include "Criminal type" , "Crook" , "Outlaw, robber" , "Member of a gang of robbers" , "Desperado" .)
