Entices everyone and captures half (7)
I believe the answer is:
allures
'entices' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'everyone and captures half' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'half' indicates taking half.
'captures' with half the letters taken is 'ures'.
'all'+'ures'='ALLURES'
(Another definition for allures that I've seen is " Entices".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
