Fleece carried out, then ring stolen from charity (6)
I believe the answer is:
diddle
'fleece' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'carried out then ring stolen from charity' is the wordplay.
'carried out then' becomes 'did' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ring' becomes 'O' (letter resembling a ring).
'stolen from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'charity' becomes 'dole' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dole' with 'o' taken away is 'dle'.
'did'+'dle'='DIDDLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diddle that I've seen before include "Slang for cheat or swindle - nearly fiddle" , "Fleece" , "Con - do - lidded (anag)" , "Slangily cheat or swindle" , "Did, and led out to cheat" .)
