Gave wrong directions into city (6)
I believe the answer is:
geneva
'city' is the definition.
(Geneva is an example)
'gave wrong directions into' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'directions' becomes 'ne' (I've seen this in other clues).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'gave' is an anagram of 'geva'.
'geva' enclosing 'ne' is 'GENEVA'.
(Other definitions for geneva that I've seen before include "Swiss city and canton" , "Some bands" , "Where to see Red Cross headquarters" , "Swiss city - type of gin" , "city of biblical significance" .)
