Fused the lights and made the music centre red-hot, maybe! (7)
I believe the answer is:
shorted
'fused the lights and made' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'music centre red-hot maybe' is the wordplay.
'centre' indicates the central letters.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
The centre of 'music' is 's'.
'red'+'hot'='redhot'
'redhot' with letters rearranged gives 'horted'.
's'+'horted'='SHORTED'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
