Figure modern times to be just crazy (3)
I believe the answer is:
mad
'crazy' is the definition.
(I know that crazy can be written as mad)
'figure modern times to be just' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'modern' could be 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ad' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mad that I've seen before include "Demented or excited or angry" , "Aberrant" , "Extremely foolish" , "like the March Hare" , "Crackers" .)
