Design ready with a pattern of lines (5)
I believe the answer is:
rayed
'with a pattern of lines' is the definition.
'design ready' is the wordplay.
'design' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ready' with letters rearranged gives 'RAYED'.
(Another definition for rayed that I've seen is " Beaming".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
