Deploys crowd and lie is spread by Saturday (9)
I believe the answer is:
mobilises
'deploys' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'crowd and lie is spread by saturday' is the wordplay.
'crowd' becomes 'mob' (mob can mean a crowd of people).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'spread' is an anagram indicator.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'saturday' becomes 's'.
'lie'+'is'='lieis'
'lieis' anagrammed gives 'ilise'.
'mob'+'ilise'+'s'='MOBILISES'
Can you help me to learn more?
